Every  book  is  more  or  less  a  confession  of  egotism,  but  when  the 
work  contains  little  beside  a  schedule  of  the  author's  personal  prop- 
erty, it  needs  something  more  than  the  usual  prefatory  apology,  for 
his  exculpation.  Few  readers  will  be  interested  in  his  plea  for  con- 
donement  of  his  offense,  and  fewer  still  will  care  to  learn,  that  his 
work  had  its  origin,  in  motives  more  honorable  than  ostentatious 
display. 

A  general  catalogue  of  works  illustrative  of  the  history,  literature, 
and  archaeology  of  the  Aborigines  of  both  Americas,  had  been  in 
progress  of  composition  for  several  years,  as  a  guide  to  the  author's 
collection  of  that  class  of  books.  As  it  grew  in  proportions,  by  the 
slow  accretions  which  study  and  experience  furnished,  the  author's 
vanity  was  easUy  flattered  into  the  design  of  producing  a  work  of 
more  general  utility.  The  material  collected  at  length  covered  so 
wide  a  range,  that  it  embraced  not  only  transcripts  of  the  titles  of 
such  printed  works  as  were  personally  examined,  or  were  to  be 
found  in  catalogues  of  public  and  private  libraries,  with  a  coUation 
of  their  pages,  and  synopses  of  their  contents,  but  also  the  titles  of 
articles  upon  the  same  subjects,  printed  in  reviews,  historical  collec- 
tions, magazines,  and  other  ephemera.  More  than  two  thousand 
five  hundred  separate  works,  and  twelve  hundred  essays,  had  been 
catalogued,  with  their  topical  range  noted,  before  the  vast  extent  of 
the  unexplored  territory  to  be  examined,  began  to  exhibit  some  of 
its  formidable  proportions.  It  was  plainly  demonstrated,  that  the 
projected  task  must  be  either  abandoned  or  greatly  abridged.  That 
portion  of  the  task  which  could  be  most  readily  detached  and  wrought 
into  unity,  was  the  catalogue  of  works  on  the  American  Aborigines, 
in  the  author's  possession.  To  determine  the  selection  of  works 
which  should  be  included  in  that  category,  they  have  been  subjected 
to  a  few  simple  rules  of  classification. 

All  works  which  purported  in  their  titles  to  contain  historic,  nar- 
rative, or  literary  material,  relating  to  the  American  Indians. 


iv  Preface. 

Books  in  which  any  distinct  portion,  chapter,  or  appendix  claimed 
by  its  heading,  or  table  of  contents  to  be  devoted  to  that  subject. 

Works  containing  engravings,  illustrative  of  the  manners  and 
peculiarities  of  the  aborigines,  when  derived  from  actual  observation. 

All  treatises,  or  essays,  upon  their  origin,  or  the  pre-Columbian 
discovery  of  America,  as  affecting  the  source  of  its  population. 

Those  works  of  fiction  or  poetry  foimded  on  Indian  life,  to  which 
were  appended  historical  notes,  incidents  of  personal  experience,  or 
traditions  and  legends,  of  the  Indians. 

All  works  containing  grammatical  analyses,  or  vocabularies  of 
their  language,  as  well  as  translations,  into  or  from  them,  would  of 
course  form  a  part  of  the  collection. 

In  a  limited  number  of  cases,  marked  with  a  star  (*),  books  not 
actually  in  the  author's  collection  have  been  admitted  to  the  cata- 
logue. This  exceptional  adoption  has  been  made  to  complete  the 
bibliographical  history  of  those  series  of  works  of  which  the  library 
contained  only  a  portion,  and  thus  afford  the  collector  a  full  view  of 
such  treatises  as  complete  any  section  of  the  subject. 

In  a  few  cases,  the  titles  have  been  much  abbreviated,  but  only 
when  they  formed  a  complete  table  of  contents  to  the  work,  or  a 
feeble  prolixity  of  matters  foreign  to  the  subject  of  the  catalogue.

Indies.  |  Intreating  of  the  remarkable  things  of  Heaven  ;  of  the 
Elements,  Mettalls,  Plants  and  Beasts  which  are  pro  |  per

Father  Acosta,  a  native  of  Medina  del  Campo,  entered  the  Society  of  Jesus  at 
the  age  of  fourteen,  and  in  1571  when  thirty-one  years  old,  became  the 
deputy  provincial  of  Peru.  He  died  at  Salamanca  in  1600,  having  passed 
the  greater  part  of  the  intervening  years  in  America.  His  work  has  been 
justly  esteemed  for  its  intrinsic  merit,  indubitable  evidence  of  which  is 
found  in  the  fact  that  it  has  been  translated  into  almost  every  language  of 
Europe  having  a  literature.  Books  V.,  VI.,  and  VII.  .pp.  327  to  590,  are 
entirely  devoted  to  a  relation  of  the  history,  customs  and  warres  of  the 
Indians.  This  portion  of  the  work  is  replete  with  the  most  curious  details 
of  the  Aborigines,  before  their  peculiar  customs  had  become  modified  by 
contact  with  the  whites.  Although  he  was  one  of  the  earliest,  yet  he  was 
one  of  the  most  curious  and  accurate  observers  of  the  customs  and  peculi- 
arities of  the  Aborigines  who  have  attempted  to  describe  tliem.  Scarcely 
a  trait  which  has  excited  the  attention  of  the  historian  or  the  narrator  in 
the  three  centuries  which  have  elapsed,  has  escaped  his  observation  and 
description.  Perfect  copies  of  the  English  edition  are  quite  rare,  but  the 
others  are  often  sold  at  very  low  rates.

Savages ;  with  the  method  of  securing  the  salvation  of  the  Indians ;  In  Six 
Books."] 

This  is  an  entirely  distinct  work  from  the  Historia  Natural  printed  at  Seville 
in  1590,  and  translated  into  almost  every  language  of  Europe.  Books  one 
and  two  were  subsequently  enlarged  to  the  Natural  History,  but  at  page 
99  the  title  "  De  Procuranda  Salvte  Indorum "  announces  another  work 
which  has  never  been  printed  in  English.  All  the  remainder  of  the  volume 
is  devoted  to  a  description  of  the  methods  by  which  the  Indians  of  the  New 
World  were  to  be  brought  into  the  dominion  of  the  Christian  Church.  All 
the  difficulties  are  investigated.  Their  idolatries,  their  superstitions,  their 
rites,  their  customs,  their  love  of  warfare,  and  the  chase,  their  licentious- 
ness, and  their  savage  habits,  are  all  described,  and  the  various  means  by 
which  the  rites  of  the  Christian  discipline  can  be  made  to  control  them  dis- 
cussed. Pinelo  claims  that  this  portion  of  Acosta's  work  was  taken  from 
the  MSS.  of  a  Dominican  monk  named  Diego  Duran.  This  is  the  second 
edition,  the  first  having  been  printed  at  Salamanca  the  year  previous.  The 
six  books  relating  to  the  Indians  are  divided  into  130  chapters  with  subject 
headings.

Chapters  xxvi.  to  xliii.  of  Acugna's  Relation,  and  almost  all  of  that  of 
Fathers  Grillet  and  Bechamel  are  devoted  to  descriptions  of  the  peculiarities 
of  the  Indian  tribes  they  encountered.  Their  narratives  possess  a  greater 
interest  from  being  made  by  the  first  Europeans  who  traversed  these  regions, 
and  penetrated  to  the  territories  of  the  Indian  nations,  the  Arragoues  and 
Nouragones.

Although  it  cannot  be  claimed  for  this  author  that  he  ranked  first  in  priority 
of  time,  his  name  is  first  on  our  alphabetical  register  of  a  great  number  of 
writers  whose  imagination  has  been  struck  by  the  astonishing  coincidence 
of  many  particulars  of  the  customs  and  religious  rites  of  some  of  the  Ameri- 
can Nations  with  those  of  the  Jews.  The  relations  of  an  intelligent  ob- 
server (as  this  Indian  trader  seems  to  have  been),  for  so  long  a  period  as 
forty  years,  of  the  peculiarities  of  the  Southern  Indians,  among  whom  he 
resided  for  that  period,  is  not  without  great  value ;  although  we  should  have 
reason  to  hold  it  in  still  greater  esteem,  had  the  author  cherished  no  favorite 
dogma  to  establish,  or  detested  any  which  he  wished  to  destroy.

This  work  is  the  result  of  such  a  vast  amount  of  research  and  learning  as  to 
perfectly  appall  the  mind  of  any  person  who  in  forming  a  fair  acquaintance 
with  the  literature  of  two  or  three  languages,  has  felt  that  he  had  accom- 
plished something.  It  has  Grammatical  Analyses  or  at  least  Vocabularies 
of  most  of  the  languages  of  the  world.  More  than  one  fourth  of  the  work  is 
devoted  to  the  Aboriginal  languages  of  America.  Pages  389  to  708  of  Vol. 
III.  Part  I.,  and  the  whole  of  Part  II.  pp.  474,  are  occupied  with  the  examina- 
tion of  the  languages  spoken  by  the  Indians  of  North  and  South  America. 
The  dialects  of  more  than  two  hundred  nations  are  represented  by  some

The  letters  of  which  this  work  consists,  were  written  by  an  English  officer  at 
Fort  Chartres  on  the  Mississippi,  just  after  the  close  of  Pontiac's  War,  and 
owe  their  principal  interest  to  their  portrayal  of  the  condition  of  the  country 
when  that  wonderful  chieftain's  heroic  effort  had  failed,  and  he  himself  had 
perished  under  the  assassin's  knife.

Two  previous  editions  of  this  collection  of  incidents  in  Western  warfare,  were 
assigned  on  the  title-pages  to  different  authors.  The  first  was  accredited  to 
J.  M.  Peck,  and  the  second  to  J.  H.  Perkins.  Albach  was  the  publisher  of 
both.  The  taste  of  the  public  for  the  work  seems  to  have  survived  the  edi- 
tors, as  the  publisher  and  legal  proprietor  of  the  work  published  a  third  edition 
as  revised  and  corrected.  Upon  the  title-page  of  this  he  left  no  other  name 
than  his  own.  It  is  a  great  collection  of  details  of  frontier  warfare ;  but  con- 
tains little  material  that  is  new,  or  indeed  not  published  in  a  hundred  forms, 
yet  it  is  much  esteemed  as  a  history  of  Western  Settlement.

Although  purporting  to  be  only  a  narration  of  the  pious  labors  of  an  Indian 
Missionary,  yet  this  little  volume  contains  many  valuable  historical  and  bio- 
graphical sketches,  particularly  one  of  Cornplanter.  From  this  eminent  Chief 
and  Warrior  the  author  derived  some  very  interesting  particulars  of  Indian 
History,  more  especially  of  the  Seneca  Tribe.  A  short  vocabulary  of  the 
dialect  of  that  nation  is  given  in  the  Appendix.

This  and  the  preceding  work  entitled  Ten  Years  in  Oregon  are  identical. 
They  purport  to  be  and  doubtless  are  the  veritable  relations  of  an  extraor- 
dinary mission,  partaking  of  both  a  religious  and  a  political  character.  Dr. 
White  was  a  Presbyterian  Missionary  to  the  wilds  of  Oregon,  who  devel- 
oped a  remarkable  aptitude  for  organization  of  border  communities  into  reg- 
ular civic  bodies.  These  traits  were  not  less  notably  exhibited  by  his  de^- 
ings  with  the  Indians  ;  among  whom  some  of  his  adventures  are  little  less 
than  marvelous. 

Allen  (Charles). 

Report  on  the  Stockbridge  Indians,  in  answer  to  a  "  Memorial 
of  Darius  Charles  and  others  of  the  Stockbridge  Tribe  of  In- 
dians." Made  to  the  Legislature  of  Massachusetts,  January 
18,  1870.     8°   pp.  23.     Boston,  1870.  23 

This  Report  contains  a  statement  of  the  various  sales  of  land  made  by  the 
Stockbridge  tribe  of  Indians,  under  the  authority  of  the  State,  the  consid- 
eration for  the  conveyance,  and  some  interesting  historical  information  not 
hitherto  known.  Some  particulars  relating  to  the  Dutch  traders  among 
them,  who  opposed  their  conversion  to  Christianity ;  and  of  the  Missions  of 
Sargent,  Williams,  and  Edwards  are  related.  The  Report  has  a  more  con- 
siderable interest  as  a  historical  treatise  than  most  of  those  of  its  kind.

A  Character  of  the  Province  of  Maryland  Described  in  four

This  volume  is  a  reprint  of  the  very  rare  work  printed  in  London  1666,  with 
the  same  Title.  The  description  of  the  Susquehanock  Indians,  although 
meagre,  is  not  without  value,  as  a  monument  of  their  existence.  It  occu- 
pies pp.  71  to  81  of  the  Volume.  The  notes,  however,  form  a  very  impor- 
tant part  of  its  real  value  as  they  are  the  product  of  one  of  the  most  learned 
scholars  on  the  subject  of  Indian  history.  They  bestow  upon  the  reprint 
a  much  greater  intrinsic  value  than  even  the  rare  original  possesses.

This  judicious  collection  of  documents  and  material  relating  to  the  Border 
Settlements  of  the  West,  was  published  in  twenty-two  numbers,  commen- 
cing in  January  1842,  and  terminating  with  October  1843.  The  title-page 
of  Vol.  I.  bears  date  1844,  while  that  of  the  second  is  dated  1843. 

Vol.  I.  consists  of  twelve  monthly  numbers  having  a  total  of  448  pp.  with 
24  illu.strations,  of  which  ten  are  full  pages  with  reverse  blank.  Vol.  II.  con- 
sists of  ten  monthly  numbers  having  a  total  of  480  pp.  with  nineteen  illus- 
trations, eleven  of  which  are  full  paged  with  reverse  blank.  The  great  mass 
of  historic  material  in  these  two  volumes  is  composed  of  Journals  of  Cam- 
paigns against  the  Indians,  Narratives  of  Captivity,  Incidents  of  Border 
Warfare,  Biographical  Sketches  of  Frontiersmen,  Indian  Warriors,  and 
White  Scouts.  Everything  relating  to  the  Aborigines  finds  in  these  volumes 
a  place  which  are  in  effect,  a  great  storehouse  of  incidents,  and  historical 
data  regarding  them.

This  tract,  written  by  the  Indian  William  Apes,  contains  on  the  last  four 
pages  a  treatise  entitled  "  The  Indians,  the  Ten  Lost  Tribes." 

Apes  (William). 

Indian  Nullification  of  the  Unconstitutional  Laws  of  Massachu-

Explained.  By  William  Apes,  an  Indian,  and  Preacher  of  the 
Gospel.  Cloth.  12°  pp.  168.  Boston,  1835.  Press  of  Jona-

If  all  the  statements  of  the  author,  who  claims  to  be  a  lineal  descendant  of 
the  tribe,  which  suffered  such  murderous  slaughter  at  the  hands  of  Captains 
Church  and  Underhill,  are  true,  there  is  a  long  score  of  wrongs  to  be  settled 
with  the  State  of  Massachusetts.  According  to  this  author,  the  descendants 
of  the  men  who  sold  the  son  of  King  Philip,  and  more  than  two  hundred  of 
his  subjects  into  the  cruel  slavery  of  the  Spanish  Islands,  still  held  the  feeble 
remnants  of  her  aboriginal  population  in  a  species  of  slavery.  The  thrifty 
selectmen  of  any  town  in  Massachusetts,  could,  if  adroit  and  unscrupulous, 

{)ay  the  whole  annual  tax  of  the  town  by  seizing  upon  the  proceeds  of  the 
abor  of  two  or  three  Indians.  Apes  declared  that  if  any  active  whaleman 
of  aboriginal  blood  (as  many  of  the  most  expert  of  the  Gayhead  and  Nan- 
tucket harpooners  were)  sliould  be  entitled  to  a  share  of  five  or  six  hun- 
dred dollars,  the  selectmen  could  seize  upon,  and  convert  it  to  defray  any 
expenses  for  indigent  Indians.  I  have  seen  no  other  evidence  to  corroborate 
his  statements.

The  date  of  the  Petition  is  found  at  the  end  of  the  Privilege.  The  note  to  the

Botturini,  in  his  Catcdogo  del  Museo  India,  places  the  Vocabulario  under  the 
date  of  158.3  ;  but  as  it  is  not  uncommon  to  antedate  works  printed  without 
the  year  being  named,  I  am  inclined  to  believe  the  edition  of  1611  to  be  the 
first.  An  instance  of  this  is  seen  in  White  Kennett,  who  places  the  English 
edition  of  Peter  Martyr  without  date  under  1597  ;  while  the  first  with  a  date 
is  1612.  The  Manual  of  Armas  was  reprinted  in  1690,  1700,  1728,  1793,

The  Mutsuns  were  a  tribe  of  Indians  occupying  a  valley  in  California  about 
forty  miles  northwest  of  Monterey,  and  were  the  most  northerly  tribe  of 
whose  language  the  Spanish  missionaries  compiled  a  grammar. 

The  San  Juan  Bautista  Mission  was  established  among  the  Mutsun  In- 
dians, in  1799.  The  work  was  printed  from  the  original  MSS.  forwarded  to 
the  Smithsonian  Institute  by  the  President  of  Santa  Inez  College.  Their 
language  closely  resembles  that  of  the  Indians  Diegeno,  a  savage  people  liv- 
ing near  the  Mission  Soledad  on  the  River  Salinas,  and  also  that  of  the  In- 
dians of  the  Mission  of  San  Carlos  near  Monterey.  Father  Felipe  Arroyo 
de  la  Cuesta  came  to  California  in  1810,  and  died  at  Santa  Inez  Mission  in 
1842.

try; originally  communicated  to  the  American  Antiquarian  So- 
ciety, by  Caleb  Atwater.     9,"  pp.  408.  53 

The  third  title,  at  p.  167,  is,  "  Remarks  made  on  a  Tour  to  Prairie  Du  Chien ; 
thence  to  Washington  City  in  1829."  Tlie  first  work,  "  A  Description  of  An- 
tiquities "  has  never  been  printed  in  a  separate  form,  its  first  publication  hav- 
ing been  in  the  first  volume  of  Archceologia  Americana.  In  this  the  prints 
and  maps  were  much  better  executed,  some  even  having  been  omitted  in  the 
Cincinnati  edition. 

The  Tour  is  a  reprint  of  the  greater  portion  of  that  published  in  12°,  pp. 
296,  at  Columbus  in  1831.  In  this  however  the  rudiments  of  the  Sioux 
Grammar  are  omitted.  The  antiquarian  portion  is  a  well  written  descrip- 
tion, apparently  conscientiously  accurate,  of  the  mounds,  fortifications,  mor- 
tuary remains,  implements,  and  weapons  of  the  ancient  Aborigines  of  Ohio. 
The  zeal  and  industry  of  the  author,  stimulated  by  a  thirst  for  the  acqui- 
sition of  knowledge  regarding  the  mysterious  people  of  whom  these  were  the 
relics,  have  produced  a  work  not  much  less  valuable,  because  the  author  had 
little  scientific  training,  to  teach  him  what  to  search  for.  Ethnology  indeed, 
at  the  period  of  Mr.  Atwater's  researches,  had  not  crj'stallized  its  facts  into  a 
science.  The  work  is  accompanied  by  eleven  plans,  mostly  folding,  besides 
several  cuts  printed  in  the  text,  illustrative  of  subjects  mentioned. 

Atwater  (Caleb). 

Remarks  made  on  a  Tour  to  Prairie  Du'Chien  ;  thence  to 
Washington  City  in  1829,  by  Caleb  Atwater,  late  Commissioner 
employed"  by  the  United  States  to  negotiate  with  the  Indians  of 
the  Upper  Mississippi,  for  the  purchase  of  mineral  country,  and 
author  of  Western  Antiquities.  12°  pp.  2^Q.  Columbus,  0..,  pub- 
lished by  Isaac  J^,  Whiting,  1831.  54 

Some  very  curious  particulars  relating  to  Customs  of  the  Winnebagoes  are. 
related  by  Atwater.  Although  nothing  indicating  the  mission  of  Atwater 
appears  on  the  title,  yet  the  real  object  of  his  tour  was  to  procure  as  Com- 
missioner of  the  government,  a  cession  of  the  title  of  the  Winnebago,  Potta- 
watomie, Chippewa,  and  Ottawa  Indians,  in  the  rich  mineral  lands,  now 
forming  the  State  of  Wisconsin  and  part  of  Illinois. 

Much  the  greater  part  of  the  work  is  devoted  therefore  to  a  narration  of 
the  peculiarities  of  those  tribes  which  he  visited,  biography  of  some  of  their 
chiefs,  Indian  poetry,  specimens  of  their  language,  and  incidents  of  his  asso- 
ciations ^vith  them. 

On  pages  149  to  172  the  author  has  given  "  Rudiments  of  the  Grammar 
of  the  Sioux  Language,"  all  of  which  is  omitted  in  the  edition  of  1833.     On

The  subject  of  this  biographical  sketch  attracted  much  attention  to  himself  in 
England,  whither  he  went  to  enlist  the  interposition  of  the  crown  in  favor 
of  the  Creek  Indians,  over  whom  he  had  acquired  a  sort  of  chieftainship.  He 
claimed  for  them  the  rights  of  an  independent  and  sovereign  nation.  Several 
treatises  were  printed  regarding  him  and  his  lucubrations,  among  others,  one 
attempting  to  establish  from  his  testimony  the  existence  of  a  tribe  of  Indiana 
speaking  the  Welsh  language.     The  work  whose  title  is  above  given,  is

This  very  beautiful  edition  of  Captain  Back's  Journey,  is  exactly  a  counter- 
part, page  by  page,  of  the  octavo  size.  It  is  in  fact  an  impression  of  the  oc- 
tavo on  a  quarto  page  of  thick  paper,  and  is  therefore  a  large  paper  size,  of 
which  a  few  copies  were  probably  taken  for  presentation.  The  impressions 
of  the  plates  are  on  India  paper,  and  having  as  well  as  the  text  been  taken 
with  great  care,  the  whole  work  is  a  splendid  specimen  of  typographic  art. 

Captain  Back's  Nax-rative  is  crowded  with  details  of  his  intercourse  with  the 
Crees,  Chippewyans,  Dog  Rib,  and  Coppermine  Indians,  upon  whom  he,  as 
well  as  Captain  Franklin,  was  obliged  -to  depend  in  great  measure  for  sub- 
sistence during  the  terrible  privations  of  an  Arctic  winter.  No  intelligent 
comprehension  of  the  character  of  the  savage  tribes  of  the  frozen  regions  of 
North  America  can  be  obtained  without  reading  the  narratives  of  Captains 
Franklin  and  Back ;  both  of  whose  Journals  of  their  overland  expeditions 
are  very  largely  occupied  with  descriptions  of  Indian  life  and  peculiarities.

[History  of  North  America,  divided  into  four  volumes.  Vol.  I.,  containing  the 
Voyage  to  Fort  Nelson  in  Hudson's  Bay  on  the  northern  extremity  of 
America.  The  first  establishment  of  the  French  in  this  vaste  country,  the 
capture  of  the  said  Fort  Nelson,  Description  of  the  River  St.  Lawrence,  the 
Government  of  Quebec,  of  the  Three  Rivers  and  of  Montreal  from  1 534  to 
1701.] 

The  subject  of  the  work  is  very  imperfectly  described  in  the  title  to  the  first 
volume.  Each  one  of  the  four  composing  it  has  a  distinct  title,  as  much 
descriptive  of  a  different  purpose  as  a  separate  work.  To  afford  a  full  com- 
prehension of  its  scope  I  append  a  translation  of  the  title  of  each  volume :  — 

Vol.  n.  "  History  of  the  Native  Allies  of  New  France,  their  Manners  and  their 
Maxims,  their  Religion,  and  their  interests  with  all  the  Nations  of  the  upper 
Lakes,  among  which  are  the  Hurons  and  the  Illinois,  the  alliance  made  with 
the  French  and  these  people,  and  all  which  occurred  the  most  remarkable 
under  Messieurs  de  Traci  de  Frontenac,  de  la  Barre  and  of  Denonville." 

Vol.  III.  "  History  of  the  Iriquois,  their  Planners,  their  Maxims,  their  Cus- 
toms, their  Government,  their  Interests,  with  the  English  their  Allies,  all  the 
transactions  of  the  war  with  them  from  the  years  1689  to  1701 ;  their  Negotia- 
tions, their  Embassies  for  a  general  Peace  with  the  French,  and  with  the 
Native  Allies  of  New  France." 

Vol.  IV.  "  History  of  the  Abnaquis  Indians,  the  general  Peace  in  all  North 
America,  under  the  government  of  the  Count  Frontenac  and  the  Chevalier 
de  Callieres,  during  which  the  Indian  Nations  residing  six  hundred  leagues 
from  Quebec  assembled  at  Montreal." 

De  la  Potherie's  work,  it  will  be  seen,  is  a  history  of  the  Indian  nations  of 
Canada,  being  entirely  devoted  to  that  subject  and  the  relations  of  the 
French  with  the  natives.  Much  of  his  work  is  written  from  his  own  observa- 
tion, and  the  remainder  seems  to  have  been  derived  from  authentic  sources, 
A  comparison  of  De  la  Potherie's  volumes  with  unquestioned  authorities, 
like  Le  Clercq  and  Sagard,  does  not  sustain  the  criticism  of  Father  Char- 
levoix copied  by  Mr.  Rich.  Most  of  the  twenty-seven  plates  are  illustrative 
of  scenes  or  peculiarities  in  Indian  life.

XVII.    of    Temaitx-Gompans,    Voyages  et    Relations.  Paris, 

1840.  67 

This  History  of  Peru,  never  before  printed,  was  written  by  a  gentleman  who 
went  to  Bogota  in  1566,  where  he  resided  ten  years;  then  removed  to 
Quito,  where  he  finished  his  history  in  1586,  twenty  years  after  he  arrived 
in  America.  The  Manuscript,  as  found  by  M.  Temaux,  was  divided  in 
three  books,  of  which  the  first  two  make  no  mention  of  America,  except 
some  worthless  speculations  about  its  being  the  land  of  Ophir. 

In  his  third  book,  however,  he  gives  the  results  of  his  communications  from 
a  learned  monk  named  Juan  de  Orozco,  of  Bogota,  who  had  written  many 
treatises  on  the  origin  and  antiquities  of  the  Indians. 

The  volume  is  entirely  occupied  with  the  history  of  the  Incas,  and  other

Indian  nations,  prior  to  the  invasion  of  Pizarro,  and  closes  with  the  murder, 
by  this  tyrant,  of  Atahualipa.  Its  value  to  us  is  greatly  enhanced  in  its 
being  an  independent  chronicle,  according  so  often  with,  and  differing  so 
often  from,  that  of  Garcilaso  de  la  Vega.  Both  their  agreements  and  their 
differences  establish  the  fact  of  a  common  source  of  historic  data.

alone,  in  a  hut  of  his  own  construction,  in  the  extreme  Western 
part  of  Kentucky.     New  York,  1835.  68 

Very  little  of  this  fugitive  chapbook  relates  to  the  subject  of  the  massacre  by 
the  savages,  and  that  little  is  worthless;  the  rest  is  mere  rhapsody  and 
bombast.

No  part  of  the  American  Continent  has  had  so  many  intelligent  and  well 
educated  observers  of  Indian  traits  as  the  Hudson's  Bay  Territory.  The 
great  Company  encouraged  the  occasional  presence  and  association  of  a 
superior  employe.  Among  the  considerable  number  of  writers  who  have 
served  that  company,  none  have  produced  a  more  complete,  interesting,  and 
evidently  faithful  narration  of  the  various  phases  of  a  Fur  Trader's  life 
among  the  Indians,  than  Mr.  Ballantyne.  Crowded  as  his  book  is  in  details 
of  their  life,  habits,  and  peculiarities,  we  feel  an  unchecked  confidence  in 
their  truthfulness  as  we  progress  in  its  perusal.

The  especial  subject  of  the  author's  inquiries  regarding  the  Indians,  is  the 
nature  and  use  of  the  Wourali  Poison,  with  which  their  weapons  are 
charged.  Although  a  work  of  some  merit,  written  as  it  was  by  an  English- 
man of  learning,  it  has  little  value  as  a  narration  of  personal  experience. 
It  is  probable,  from  the  entire  absence  of  personal  details,  that  the  book  was 
written  in  England,  perhaps  by  one  who  had  no  more  than  a  short  visit  to 
Guiana  to  qualify  him  for  the  task. 

Much  the  best  portion  of  the  work  is  Chap.  iii.  occupying  100  pp.  of  descrip- 
tion of  the  peculiarities  of  the  natives  of  the  country.  The  subject  has 
however  been  much  better  performed  by  the  Missionary,  Brett.

This  collection  of  histories  is  rarely  complete,  the  pieces  having  been  printed 
separately  and  at  different  periods,  and  having  each  an  independent  jiagina- 
tion,  were  looked  upon  as  complete  in  themselves.  Many  of  them  having 
been  destroyed,  it  is  believed  that  not  more  than  one  hundred  complete  copies 
now  exist.  The  parts  were  not  collected  until  after  the  death  of  the  author, 
whch  took  place  while  they  were  passing  through  the  press.  Mr.  Stevens 
says  that  it  is  difficult  now  to  pronounce  what  constitutes  a  complete  set,  or 
in  what  order  the  parts  should  be  arranged,  as  the  printing  occupied  a  period 
of  more  than  twenty  years.  The  copies  sold  by  himself  and  in  Leclerc's

[Memoirs,  Chronological,  for  a  General  History  of  Florida ;  containing  the 
Discoveries,  and  the  principal  events  which  happened  in  that  Great  Kingdom,

Under  this  pseudonym,  an  anagram  of  his  name,  the  learned  Barcia,  who  edited 
the  work,  concealed  his  association  with  it.  It  is  filled  \vith  the  most  valua- 
ble material  relating  to  the  Indians  who  once  inhabited  the  vast  territory 
claimed  by  the  Spaniards  under  the  title  of  Florida,  reaching  from  the  north- 
em  lakes  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  and  covering  nearly  all  the  States  united 
under  the  Federal  Government.  Almost  all  that  we  know  of  the  character 
of  some  of  the  tribes  whfch  once  inhabited  this  territory,  and  were  swept 
from  existance  by  the  conquest  of  the  Spaniards,  is  derived  from  Cabeca  de 
Vaca,  and  Garcilaso  de  la  Vega.  In  this  work  their  relations  of  Florida  are 
continued ;  among  which  the  Narrative  of  the  Sufferings  of  Father  Jogues,  a 
Jesuit  Missionary  to  the  Iroquois  in  the  present  State  of  New  York,  and  the 
painful  incidents  of  his  final  martyrdom  will  most  interest  those  who  exam- 
ine them.  Pages  205  to  217  are  principally  occupied  with  the  relation  of  the 
Missions  among  the  Hurons  and  Iroquois,  and  of  the  captivity  and  mai*- 
tyrdom  of  Fathers  Jogues,  Lalemande,  Gamier,  and  Chabanal.  Some  partic- 
ulars of  the  wars  of  the  Iroquois  are  given  on  pages  227  to  244,  and 
throughout  the  work  are  found  many  details  of  Missions  and  visits  to  the 
Northern  tribes,  and  of  the  long  series  of  conflicts  with  them.  The  Chron- 
ological History  of  Florida  is  a  continuation  of  La  Florida  del  Inca. 

The  learned  and  zealous  historian  Barcia  was  not  only  the  author  of  the  works 
attributed  to  him  under  his  name,  Historiadores  Primitivos  de  las  Indias 
OcciderUales  (Primitive  Historv  of  the  West  Indies,  South  America^,  and 
Ensayo  Chronologico  para  la  tlistoria  de  la  Florida  ("Chronological  Essays 
towards  the  History  of  Florida^  but  he  was  the  editor  of  avast  mass  of  his- 
torical works,  which  had  become  rare  even  in  his  day.  They  consisted  of  the 
following  books,  which  will  be  found  under  their  authors'  names  in  this  Cat- 
alogue. 

ToHQUEMADA.  Monarchia  Indiana,  in  three  folio  volumes  printed  at  Madrid 
in  1723. 

Gabcilaso  de  la  Vega.  Primera  parte  de  los  Commentarios,  Beales  Oriqen  de

PiNELO.  Bihliolheca  Oriental  g  Occidental.     Three  folio  vols,  in  1737. 

Ercilla.     La  Araucana.  In  one  volume  folio,  in  1633. 

Barcia's  works,  original  and  edited,  therefore  fill  19  volumes. 

Rich  says  that  copies  of  all  these  works  were  printed  on  fine  paper  with  large 
margins,  which  are  very  rarely  reunited  in  complete  sets.  Barcia's  zeal  in  his- 
torical labors,  was  not  exhausted  in  the  reprinting  and  perpetuating  rare 
works,  for  he  collected  a  vast  mass  of  books  and  manuscripts  upon  the  history 
of  America,   which  at  his  death  met  the  usual  melancholy  fate  of  such  re-

positories.  He  was  to  a  great  extent  the  author  of  his  edition  of  the  Biblio- 
theca  Oriental  y  Occidental  of  Pineda,  which  was  originally  printed  in  one 
small  quarto,  but  by  Barcia's  additions  grew  to  three  folios,  of  which  the  third 
is  devoted  to  the  titles  of  books  and  manuscripts  relating  to  American  history. 
Barcia's  works  did  not  escape  sharp  criticism  in  his  own  day.  Salazar,  the 
author  of  some  dull  volumes  on  the  History  of  Spain  and  the  Indies, 
printed  a  work  entitled  Crisis  del  Ensayo  a  la  Historia  de  la  Florida,  which 
evinced  more  jealousy  than  merit.

This  visit  of  the  father  of  the  naturalist,  William  Bartram,  to  the  central 
council  fire  of  the  Six  Nations,  is  especially  interesting,  not  only  as  having 
been  made  at  so  early  a  period,  but  for  affording  us  in  this  work  a  plan  and 
view  of  the  Long-House,  peculiar  to  the  tribes  of  that  confederacy.  As  the 
greater  portion  of  the  work  is  a  copious  daily  journal  of  incidents  of  travel, 
we  are  indulged  by  many  intimate  associations  with  scenes  of  aboriginal 
life.

tram's  Travels,  the  comment  found  in  Coleridge's  Tdble  Talk,  that  it  is  "  The 
latest  book  of  T'ravels  I  know,  written  in  the  spirit  of  the  Old  Travellers" 

This  I  suppose  to  mean  that  Bartram  wrote  with  all  the  enthusiasm  and  inter- 
est with  which  the  fervent  old  Spanish  friars  and  missionaries  narrated  the 
wonders  of  the  new  found  world.  Bartram,  however,  has  much  the  advan- 
tage of  these  chroniclers,  who  often  liecame  mere  rhapsodists,  as  he  was  a 
man  of  scientific  training,  with  a  mind  too  well  disciplined  in  logical  fidelity 
to  be  deluded  by  his  own  fancies. 

Although  more  especially  a  naturalist,  he  neglected  nothing  which  would  add 
to  the  common  stock  of  human  knowledge.  He  not  only  offers  us  pictui-es 
of  Indian  life,  and  sketches  of  the  striking  peculiarities  of  the  tribes  he  vis- 
ited, but  he  gives  us  tables  of  the  names  and  localities  of  the  numerous 
towns  of  the  populous  nations  of  the  Creeks  and  Cherokees.  Fifty-three 
villages  of  the  first,  and  forty-five  of  the  latter  are  enumerated  and  named.

The  narratives  of  the  three  voyages  of  Jean  Kibaut,  first  published  in  1586, 
contain  the  earliest  accounts  of  the  Indians  of  Florida,  except  such  as  are 
found  in  the  Relacion  of  Cabeca  de  Vaca.  In  one  respect,  at  least,  it  relieves 
the  ferocity  charged  upon  the  savages  by  most  writers,  by  its  narration  of 
the  horrible  massacre  perpetrated  on  the  French,  by  the  fiend  Menendcz, 
whose  name  be  consigned  to  infamy,  as  his  soul  is  to  perdition.

Like  most  of  the  works  called  Voyages,  written  by  Frenchmen,  this  is  princi- 
pally occupied  with  a  resume  of  the  history  of  the  country  pui-ported  to  be 
visited,  with  scarcely  nothing  of  personal  observation.  The  character, 
manners,  and  wars  of  the  native  savages  of  course  occupy  his  attention 
largely ;  but  his  work  is  principally  notable  for  "  Two  Vocabularies  of  the 
Savages,"  the  Naoudoouessis  and  the  Chipouais,  covering  pp.  348  to  362.

Rafh's  Danish  work,  entitled  Antiquitates  Americanoe.  The  author  attempts 
to  prove  that  as  Irish  ecclesiastics  were  constantly  passing  between  Iceland 
and  Ireland,  that  it  is  more  than  probable  that  America  was  first  discovered 
by  men  of  Hibernian  birth.

Pennsylvania  and  Ohio,  lying  far  beyond  the  frontiers,  was  made  at  a  period

Beechey's  book  an  insight  into  the  secret  history  of  these  important  institu- 
tions, which  increases  that  interest  greatly.  The  Mission  Fathers,  long  iso- 
lated from  the  civilized  world,  had  become  as  severe  tyrants  in  their  little 
monarchies  as  any  of  the  secular  class,  and  regularly  recruited  their  subjects 
from  the  wild  tribes  of  savages,  by  expeditions  against  them,  in  which  fire 
and  sword  had  more  victims  than  the  cord  and  the  prison.

Vol.  II.  is  almost  entirely  devoted  to  the  author's  travels  among  the  North- 
western Indians,  of  whom  he  gives  some  novel  particulars.  The  narrations 
of  what  he  witnessed  are  tinged  with  the  peculiar  glow  of  the  author's  tem- 
perament. Beltrami  must  have  moved  in  a  gigantic  world,  if  he  saw  exter- 
nal objects  through  the  same  media  with  which  he  viewed  his  own  person 
and  accomplishments.

Anthony  Benezet,  born  in  1713,  of  a  French  family  of  St.  Quentin,  was 
driven  from  France  by  the  revocation  of  the  Edict  of  Nantes.  Having  fixed 
his  residence  in  Philadelphia,  he  adopted  the  doctrine  of  the  Quakers.  His 
hum.anity  impelled  him  to  attempt  an  amelioration  of  the  condition  of  both 
the  Indians  and  negroes,  by  publishing  treatises  exhibiting  the  unhappy 
state  to  which  each  had  been  reduced,  by  the  cupidity  and  neglect  of  the 
whites.     He  died  in  1784.

This  is  evidently  a  veritable  relation  of  personal  experience  during  three 
years'  sei-vice  as  teacher  and  missionary  among  the  Choctaws;  and  is  the 
work  of  a  man  of  sense,  who  does  not  fill  his  pages  with  the  emotional  relig- 
ious exercises  of  his  converts,  but  narrates  the  every-day  story  of  incidents 
and  character,  grave  or  ludicrous,  which  presented  themselves.

An  essay  on  the  Indian  and  Dutch  names  of  New  York,  first  printed  in  1817, 
by  the  author.  The  peculiarly  abrupt,  and  not  very  perspicuous  style  of 
tne  work,  excited  the  criticisms  of  the  directors  of  the  Society,  who  required 
some  verbal  changes  before  publication,  which  the  author's  pride  induced 
him  to  reject  with  indignation.  A  controversy  arose  of  much  acrimony,  and 
Mr.  Benson  determined  to  vindicate  his  style  by  printing  his  essay.  He  does 
not  however  seem  to  have  been  entirely  satisfied  with  it  himself,  as  several 
copies  exist  with  numerous  manuscript  additions  and  corrections. 

The  second  edition  printed  in  Jamaica  includes  some  of  these,  and  is  quite 
difficult  to  procure.  The  Society  in  1848,  after  the  death  of  the  author, 
printed  the  address,  in  their  seventh  volume  of  Collections.  Of  this  a  few 
copies  were  issued  in  a  separate  form  bearing  on  the  title  "  Reprinted  from 
a  copy  with  the  Author's  last  Corrections."

This  rare  book  is  the  work  of  an  old  Italian  traveller  who,  incited  by  the  won- 
derful stories  of  the  world  discovered  by  his  countryman  fifty  years  before, 
adventured  in  1541  to  gain  personal  knowledge  of  it.  The  Aborigines  of 
the  countries  he  visited  always  seemed  first  to  attract  his  attention ;  and  he 
has  accordingly  afforded  us  some  of  the  rarest  pictures  of  their  condition  and 
habits  at  that  early  day,  of  which  the  rude  wood-cuts  printed  in  the  text  are 
quaint  but  spirited  illustrations.  It  is  the  first  book  of  Travels  of  which 
America  has  been  so  fruitful,  as  Benzoni  seems  to  have  been  the  first  who 
travelled  merely  to  gratify  his  curiosity  and  recorded  his  observations. 

Benzoni  (Giralamo). 

History  of  the  New  World,  by  Giralamo  Benzoni  of  Milan, 
showing  his  Travels  in  America  from  A.  D.  1541  to  1556  ;  with 
some  particulars  of  the  Island  of  Canary.  Now  first  translated 
and  edited  by  Rear  Admiral  W.  H.  Smyth.  8°  pp.  iv.  -|-  (vi.)  -f-

The  narrative  of  Giralamo  Benzoni  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  of  all  the 
early  travellers  in  America,  not  only  for  the  minute  details  of  the  life  and 
habits  of  the  Aborigines  more  than  three  centuries  ago,  but  for  the  evident 
fidelity  to  truth,  and  the  consequent  reliance  we  may  feel  that  we  are  viewing

the  common  life  of  the  natives  before  what  we  term  civilization  had  corrupted 
them.  Eijihteen  fac-similes  of  the  curious  wood-cuts  of  the  period  are  in- 
serted in  the  text,  most  of  which  are  illustrative  of  some  phases  in  the  cus- 
toms of  the  Indians.  They  were  reproduced  by  De  Bry.  Born  at  Milan 
in  1519,  he  abandoned  his  country  to  seek  for  adventures  in  the  New  World 
at  the  a^e  of  twenty-two.  After  fourteen  years  of  travels  he  returned  in 
1556  and  published  his  Historia  del  Mondo,  which  has  been  esteemed  a  great 
success,  and  translated  into  several  languages.

iards have  done  to  the  present  time  in  the  West  Indies,  and  of  the  cruel 
treatment  they  have  given  the  unfortunate  natives.  Translated  from  the 
Italian  of  Jerome  Benzoni,  the  Milanois,  who  travelled  in  that  country  four- 
teen years.  Enriched  with  many  observations  and  facts  worthy  of  being

sacre committed  by  the  Spaniards  upon  some  Frenchmen  in  Florida.  With 
an  Index  of  the  most  remarkable  events.] 

This  is  the  first  Latin  edition  of  Benzoni,  and  is  chiefly  valuable  for  the  addi- 
tion by  Chauveton  of  the  narration  of  Laudonierre,  which  is  found  com- 
mencing at  page  427,  with  the  title  in  Latin,  "  Brief  History  of  the  Expe- 
dition of  the  French  to  Florida,  and  of  the  Massacre  so  barbarously  executed 
upon  them  by  the  Spaniards  in  1565."  Charlevoix  supposes  this  portion 
of  the  work  to  have  been  taken  from  that  of  La  Challeux,  printed  in  1556. 
In  the  next  year  the  first  French  translation  of  Benzoni  was  printed,  to 
which  this  account  of  the  Massacre  was  also  added. 

It  was  this  translation  of  Benzoni's  work  which  was  printed  by  De  Bry  as 
Parts  IV.,  v.,  and  VI.  of  his  Great  Voyages,  with  78  plates.

Father  Bertonio  entered  the  Society  in  1575,  and  passed  his  life  in  Peru  as  a  mis-

years.

of  the  quite  well  known  facts  of  aboriginal  history,  and,  although  contain- 
ing little  that  is  not  already  stored  in  the  common  stock  of  knowledge,  it 
does  not  include  much,  if  anything,  of  his  own  composition  which  is  falla-

Mission  of  Acadie,  in  the  year  1701.  By  the  Rev.  Father  Vincent  Bigot  of 
the  Company  of  Jesus.] 

Father  Vincent  Bigot,  a  Frenchman  of  the  Society  of  Jesus,  was  a  mission- 
ary among  the  Indians  of  Canada.  This  letter  is  dated  as  having  been 
written  from  a  village  of  the  Abnaquis  in  Acadie.  He  is  not  noticed  in  the 
Bibliotheque  of  the  Fathers  Backer,  which  only  cites  the  name  and  relations 
of  Father  Jacques  Bigot,  who  sent  relations  of  the  Missions  of  the  Abnaquis 
to  his  Superior  at  Quebec,  in  1684,  1685,  and  1702,  showing  that  he  served 
as  a  missionary  at  least  eighteen  years.  He  is  the  author  of  the  three  follow- 
ing Relations. 

Mr.  John  Gilmary  Shea,  of  New  York,  to  whom  we  owe  these  excellent  con- 
tributions to  our  literature,  has  printed  a  series  extending  to  twenty-three 
Relations.  The  edition  of  each  work  was  limited  to  one  hundred  copies, 
which  have  been  so  much  sought  after  that  it  is  very  difficult  to  obtain  a  com- 
plete set.  In  Europe  the  estimation  of  the  Relations,  and  of  Mr.  Shea's  series 
of  Indian  Linguistics,  is  much  greater  than  in  this  country.

This  work  is  a  reproduction  of  Pattie's  narrative,  which  the  penury  of  the 
thieving  writer's  imagination  has  not  empowered  him  to  clothe  with  new 
language,  or  interleave  Avith  new  incidents.  The  air  of  veracity,  which 
every  page  of  Pattie's  interesting  narrative  possesses  was  in  consequence 
transferred  to  the  stolen  sheets  of  Bilson,  and  long  perplexed  me  by  the 
clearness  of  statement,  and  the  unmistakable  flavor  of  truthfulness  which 
pervaded  a  work  that  brought  no  voucher  for  its  reality.

The  Vows  of  the  Indians  are  reproduced  only  in  Latin  and  French,  although 
they  were  written  and  registered  in  Abnaquis.  The  neglect  to  preserve  this 
fragment  of  the  language  of  the  Abnaquis,  renders  this  document  com- 
paratively valueless.  The  relations  of  the  Jesuit  Missionaries  accompany- 
ing it  are  interesting,  and  add  to  our  stock  of  historical  data.

No  words  can  give  a  fairer  description  of  the  purpose,  scope,  and  excution  of 
this  work,  tlian  the  author's  language  in  his  preface  :  "  The  following  pages 
have  been  written  from  a  Jouraal  and  Notes  kept  during  my  residence  of 
eight  years  in  the  Far  West.  I  have  endeavored  to  narrate  truthfully,  and 
without  exaggeration,  only  such  incidents  as  fell  under  mxj  personal  observa- 
tion, and  also  to  portray  fiiithfully  Indian  life  in  its  home  aspect.  At  the 
present  time  when  the  Indian  is  being  held  up  before  the  world  as  an  incar- 
nate fiend,  it  is  but  fair  that  his  redeeming  qualities  should  likewise  be  re- 
corded." The  author  whose  position  as  a  fur  trader  among  the  savage 
tribes  of  the  great  plains  on  the  upper  Missouri  for  eight  years,  enabled 
him  to  form  his  judgment  on  solid  experience,  has  clearly  redeemed  his 
pledges   in  the  Preface.

Mw  York,  1856.  149 

This  narrative,  said  to  have  been  dictated  to  Mr.  Bonner  long  after  the  period 
of  these  marvelous  adventures,  bears  the  marks  of  that  talent  for  exaggera- 
tion for  which  the  border  men  are  so  remarkable.  Beckworth  at  this  time 
had  retired  from  the  hazardous  chieftainships  he  had  attained,  of  several  hos- 
tile tribes  in  succession,  to  a  hut,  where  he  was  dispensing  fire-water  to  the 
emigrants,  who  thronged  the  trail  near  his  groggery. 

Although  he  speaks  in  rather  sounding  terms  of  his  Revolutionary  sire,  he 
neglects  to  state  that  his  mother  was  a  mulatto  slave ;  and  Mr.  Bonner  is 
equally  silent  upon  the  tokens  he  must  have  seen  of  slight  regard  to  truth- 
fulness. Jim  Beckworth  was  known  for  many  years  on  the  frontier  as  a 
daring  adventurer,  and  an  unscrupulous  savage,  not  less  brutal  and  blood- 
thirsty than  his  Indian  allies ;  but  no  frontiersman  ever  made  the  mistake  of 
believing  all  he  said.

emperors  of  the  Indians,  discovered  in  the  monuments  of  the  same  In-

This  plan  of  a  new  general  history  of  North  America,  to  be  founded  upon 
a  large  amount  of  material,  composed  of  figures,  symbols,  hieroglyphics, 
songs,  and  MSS.  of  Indian  authors,  is  a  favorite  idea  of  the  more  ardent 
of  Mexican  archaeologists.  These  documents  of  the  varied  character  de- 
scribed, the  author  declares  on  the  title-page  to  be  then  newly  discovered. 

The  Catalogue  of  his  Indian  Historical  Collection  of  MSS.,  Maps,  and  Dic- 
tionaries, and  Grammars  of  the  Mexican  languages,  occupies  four  leaves  after 
p.  167  of  the  "  Idea,"  and  the  succeeding  pp.  1  to  96.  Most  of  these  valuable 
relics  of  the  golden  age  of  the  American  Aborigines  disappeared  during  the 
one  hundred  and  twenty-five  years  which  have  since  elapsed.  This  wonder- 
ful collection  included  historic  material  relating  to  each  of  the  six  great 
Mexican  nations.  Although  so  great  a  length  of  time  has  elapsed  since 
its  dispersal,  M.  Aubin,  an  amateur  collector  at  Paris,  has  had  the  good 
fortune  to  recover  many  of  them. 

"  Lorenzo  Boturini  Benadiicci  was  a  Milanese  gentleman,  who,  after  much 
trouble  in  obtaining  copies  of  the  best  manuscripts  and  paintings,  printed 
his  outline  of  a  grand  work,  which  I  have  been  informed  dad  not  appear  in 
consequence  of  his  death."  —  Dr.  Cabrera. 

This  great  museum  of  Mexican  antiquities  and  MSS.,  copies  of  the  equally 
wonderful  histories  of  the  Indian  nations,  written  by  learned  Indians,  was 
seized  by  the  jealous  and  vindictive  authorities  of  Mexico ;  and  although 
for  many  years  preserved  among  the  archives  of  the  Viceroy,  yet  the  learned 
and  industrious  antiquarian  was  most  wantonly  deprived  of  the  results  of  his 
labors.  Clavigero  saw  some  of  this  precious  store  before  1770,  in  which  year 
was  printed  a  work  in  Mexico,  containing  copies  of  thirty-two  of  the  paint- 
ings. 

The  author  resided  eight  years  in  Mexico,  and  not  only  studied  and  copied

BouBNE  (Benjamin  Franklin). 

The  Captive  in  Patagonia,  or  Life  among  the  Giants.  A  Per- 
sonal Narrative.  By  Benjamin  Franklin  Bourne.  With  Illus- 
trations.    12°    pp.  2^^ -\- 4:  plates.     Boston.  1^59,.  160 

There  is  every  internal  evidence  that  this  is  a  veritable  relation  of  experience 
among  the  Aborigines  of  Patagonia,  a  race  which  has  afforded  the  greatest 
range  for  conjecture  and  controversy.  The  author  narrates  the  story  of 
his  captivity  with  a  plain,  yet  interesting  fidelity  to  the  occurrences  of  the 
hideous  life  he  endured.  While  he  does  not  confirm  the  traditions  of  the 
early  travellers,  regarding  the  vast  size  of  the  Patagonians,  his  narrative 
shows  that  there  was  more  than  an  ordinary  basis  for  such  tales  in  the  su- 
perior height  of  these  people.

After  a  resume  of  the  aboriginal  history  of  the  State  derived  from  the  re- 
lations of  all  the  voyagers  and  travellers  from  Verrezano  to  John  Smith,  the 
author  gives  on  pages  103  to  181  of  Vol.  I.  :  "A  general  Sketch  of  the 
tribes  of  Indians  then  inhabiting  Virginia  and  Maryland."  The  names  of 
the  various  tribes,  and  the  localities  they  occupied,  together  with  the  origin 
and  signification  of  the  Indian  names  of  rivers  and  places,  receive  great 
attention  from  the  author,  whose  numerous  and  lengthy  notes  attest  the 
labor  he  bestowed  upon  the  aboriginal  history  of  his  State.

Baltimore,  1816.  166 

The  work  of  a  man  who  examined  carefully  into  the  habits  and  character  of 
the  Indians  of  the  Upper  Missouri ;  wrote  with  a  punctilious  sensitiveness  to 
his  obligation  to  narrate  nothing  but  the  truth ;  and  who  told  the  story  of 
his  sojourn  among  the  savages  and  traders  in  a  manner  to  attract  and  pre- 
serve the  reader's  interest.  Mr.  Brackenridge,  being  the  first  traveller  after 
Captains  Lewis  and  Clark  to  visit  these  distant  tribes,  his  "  Relation  "  has  a 
more  than  ordinary  value  to  the  ethnologist  and  the  historian.

New  York,  Dayton  ^  Saxton,  1841.  169 

Part  I.  pp.  15  to  161  is  occupied  with  a  resume  of  the  discoveries  of  Ameri- 
can antiquities,  with  a  description  of  their  size,  character,  and  location,  and 
is  a  very  excellent  collection  of  the  material  facts  relating  to  them.  In  this 
part  of  the  work  the  author  entirely  avoids  any  discussion,  or  speculation  re- 
garding their  origin,  or  age.  Part  II.  pp.  163  to  435,  is  entitled  "  Researches 
into  the  Origin  and  History  of  the  Red  Race ; "  and  the  several  divisions  into 
chapters  embrace  such  subjects  as  :  Comparison  of  the  Ancient  Monuments  ; 
Ancient  Civilization ;  Aboriginal  Monuments ;  Aboriginal  Migrations ; 
Routes  of  Migration  ;  Drifting  of  Vessels  ;  Origin  of  the  Aborigines  and  the 
Pyramids.  In  these  chapters  the  author  gives  free  indulgence  to  the  hypo- 
thetical, sustained,  however  by  a  close  adhesion  to  logical  conclusion  and 
scientific  analysis.  Mr.  Bradford  was  peculiarly  fitted  for  such  a  treatment 
of  this  subject,  which  will  forever  be  the  debatable  ground  of  the  etlinologist 
and  the  philosopher.  He  was  for  many  years  surrogate  of  the  city  of  New 
York ;  and  so  able  was  he  deemed  by  lawyers  that  his  decisions  in  his  court  are 
recognized  as  fixing  the  limits  of  law  and  precedent  in  that  line  of  practice. 
He  died  in  1867.

don, 1759.  171 

The  narrative  of  Colonel  Bradstreet's  expedition,  although  pur]X)rting  to  be 
written  by  another  hand,  bears  internal  evidence  of  having  been  at  least  dic- 
tated by  himself  His  conduct  in  the  expedition  against  the  Oliio  Indians 
needed  exculpation,  and  had  this  work  been  published  earlier  we  might  have 
supposed  it  was  intended  to  divert  public  attention  towards  a  real  service  he 
had  performed  for  the  Colonies.  He  was  im])atient  of  the  subordinate  rank 
he  held  in  the  campaign ;  and  while  in  command  of  the  northern  division 
of  the  army  moving  against  the  Ohio  Indians  in  1764,  he  disobeyed  the  or- 
ders of  Colonel  Boquet,  and  made  a  separate  treaty  of  peace,  which  would 
have  been  productive  of  most  disastrous  circumstances  had  it  not  been 
promptly  disayowed  by  Boquet.

It  is  very  difficult  to  assign  the  place  which  this  extraordinary  man  will  oc- 
cupy in  the  annals  of  science,  for  his  works  are  to-day  nearly  as  great  mys- 
teries as  the  hieroglyphs  his  labors  have  illustrated.  His  industry  in  his  re- 
searches into  the  history  of  the  Aztec  races  is  something  not  less  than  mar-

velous.  Following  his  vocation  as  a  priest  and  a  missionary,  his  literary 
appetite  could  only  be  allayed  by  writing  a  history  of  Canada,  and  perhaps 
the  most  unfortunate  event  for  his  fame  which  could  possibly  have  happened 
was  that  it  was  printed.  It  did  not  escape  the  notice  of  historical  students 
that  the  Abbe  had  accepted  so  much  which  was  apocryphal,  that  his  history 
was  little  better  than  a  romance.  When,  therefore,  he  had,  with  heroic 
sacrifice  of  all  personal  ease,  accepted  the  life  of  self-immolation  of  a  mis- 
sionary to  the  Indians  of  Mexico ;  had  studied  for  years  the  relics  of  Aztec 
picture-writing ;  had  learned  and  systematized  in  great  treatises  their  modern 
dialects ;  the  immense  works  which  he  then  printed  upon  the  history  of  the 
pre-Cortesian  races,  made  scarcely  a  ripple  on  the  quiet  of  the  scientific 
world.  He  stands  alone  in  the  vast  temple  of  learning  which  he  has  restored, 
if  he  did  not  erect.  No  human  being  can  contest  his  solution  of  Aztec 
pictographs,  nor  does  there  exist  one  who  can  prove  it  to  be  true.  His 
numerous    volumes  have  at  least   this    merit,  —  they  have  done  much   to 

Eerpetuate  the  memory  of  a  wonderful  race.  Besides  those  already  noted

Numerous  articles  upon  Mexican  Antiquities,  from  the  pen  of  this  prolific 
author,  have  appeared  in  the  European  Reviews,  principally  excerpts  from 
his  printed  works.  Some  copies  of  these  have  been  separated  and  distributed 
in  the  magazine  sheets. 

The  industry,  zeal,  and  learning  which  the  Abbe  Brasseur  de  Bourbourg 
brought  to  the  investigation  of  the  Aztec  and  other  Central  American  litera- 
ture, have  produced  scarcely  any  other  result  than  the  accumulation  of  so  vast 

•  an  amount  of  printed  matter  as  to  appal  the  stoutest-hearted  ethnologist. 
In  the  world  of  conjecture  he  is  without  a  rival.  He  has  however,  with  his 
national  perversity  of  egotism,  destroyed  the  value  of  his  own  labors,  by  in- 
terpolating so  much  of  his  own  baseless  conjectures.  He  has  invented  as 
much  as  he  has  discovered ;  and  the  difficulty  of  separating  his  assumptions 
from  material  fact,  has  not  been  considered  a  sufficient  compensation  for  the 
labor  of  analysis.

Neither  the  horrors  of  a  forest  Savannah  stretching  hundreds  of  miles  without 
sufficient  dry  ground  to  build  a  camp  upon ;  the  danger  of  receiving  a  flight 
of  arrows  freighted  with  the  deadly  ouarri  poison,  from  the  tameless  savages 
of  the  hills,  or  the  equally  subtle  and  less  avoidable  pestilence  which  per- 
vades every  breath  of  the  malaria  saturated  atmosphere,  could  appal  the 
missionaries  of  the  Cross  to  the  Caribs  and  other  wild  savages  of  Guiana.

The  forest  is  twined  with  gigantic  serpents  above,  and  roamed  by  ferocions 
beasts  below,  the  paths  are  barred  by  the  webs  of  monstrous  and  poisonous 
spiders,  and  every  rotten  trunk  houses  a  hundred  centipedes.  On  the  shores 
hides  tlie  loathsome  cayman,  or  basks  the  rattlesnake ;  and  in  the  water  mill- 
ions of  ferocious  little  fish,  whose  mouths  are  armed  with  steel-traps,  fasten 
with  resistless  voracity  on  the  intruding  stranger.  All  we  know  of  the  Abo- 
rigines who  inhabit  these  deadly  climes,  is  communicated  by  such  fearless 
missionaries  as  Brett  and  Bernau.

This  is  a  very  interesting  report  of  a  deputation  of  Friends  who  visited  every 
Indian  Reservation  and  Tribe  in  the  State  of  New  York,  and  the  details  of 
their  observation  are  among  the  latest,  as  they  are  certainly  the  most  trust- 
worthy which  have  been  made  public  regarding  these  Indians.  At  pp.  49  to 
52,  are  recorded  their  statements  regarding  the  Shinnecock  Indians  on  Long 
Island,  the  last  of  the  Montauks.  The  devices  of  white  sharpers,  by  which 
these  Indians  have  been  deprived  of  their  lands,  are  not  more  or  less  atro- 
cious than  usual ;  but  the  fact  which  most  surprises  us  is  that  these  Indians 
have  not  succumbed  to  their  disheartening  ill-fortunes,  but  have  steadily  risen, 
and  are  temperate,  cleanly,  and  thriving.  They  are  skillful  and  experienced 
fishermen  and  whalemen,  and  from  the  proceeds  of  their  labor  have  built  a 
neat  village  and  support  a  school  and  two  churches.

This  is  one  of  the  most  thoughtful  and  philosophical  of  all  the  mere  specula- 
tive treatises  on  the  American  Aborigines.  From  the  incompetency  of  their 
languages  to  express  abstract  ideas,  he  determines  that  they  could  never 
have  originated  or  entertained  any  ideas  of  a  purely  spiritual  Deity,  and  that 
in  consequence,  they  must  have  derived  all  the  notions  they  possess  of  a 
Great  Spirit  from  European  sources,  subsequent  to  the  Columbian  discovery. 
That  there  is  a  unity  of  origin  in  all  the  varieties  of  the  Red  Race,  he  de- 
rives, —  1st.  From  the  discovery  of  verbal  similarities  running  through  all

corn,  cotton,  and  tobacco;  and  3d.  From  "the  mental  condition  of  all  in 
which  humanity  mirrors  itself ;  to  wit:  their  religious  and  moral  conscious- 
ness ;  being  at  one  uniform  level,  in  all  the  tribes  and  nations,  however  di- 
verse the  natural  influences  under  which  they  lived."  While  he  scouts  the 
notion  of  tracing  their  descent  from  the  Jews  (that  fatal  stumbling-block  of 
all  theorists,  from  Torquemada  and  Thorowgood  to  Mrs.  Simon  and  Joe 
Smith),  there  is  one  formidable  historic  weapon  against  it  he  does  not  use: 
That  the  Indian  of  America  had  a  more  pronounced  and  established  idea  of 
the  immortality  of  the  human  existence  than  the  most  pious  of  Jews.  There 
was  a  deeper  conviction  of  the  truth  of  some  sort  of  resurrection  among  the 
most  debased  of  the  Aborigines  than  existed  among  the  Jews  at  the  period 
of  the  separation  of  their  tribes.  Mr.  Brinton  treats  at  lengtli,  and  with 
masterly  clearness  in  grouping,  the  vast  mass  of  traditions,  symbols,  rites, 
and  superstitions  which  governed  the  life  of  the  savages  of  America  as  affect- 
ing their  common  origin.

The  object  announced  by  the  author,  as  the  province  of  this  work,  is  the  trac-

Though  now  dwindled  to  the  small  number  of  two  thousand  souls,  it  is  prob- 
able, from  linguistic  and  social  characteristics,  that  they  are  the  representa- 
tives of  a  once  great  people,  aflSiiating  with  now  distant  nations.

No.  10,  Shea's  American  Linguistics. 

Mr.  Shea  says  in  his  Preface,  "  This  volume  contains  undoubtedly  the  oldest 
grammatical  or  lexicogriphal  treatise  on  the  langimge  of  the  Mohawks."  It 
was  probably  written  on  the  banks  of  the  Mohawk  River,  in  the  latter  part 
of  the  seventeenth  century.  The  closely  written  manuscript  of  146  pp.,  fi'om 
which  this  work  is  printed,  is  almost  the  only  monument  remaining  of  the 
warlike  and  formidable  nation  who  once  inhabited  the  State  of  New  York. 
The  wonderful  men  who  defied  even  the  fierceness  of  this  savage  race,  and  for 
the  first  time  subdued  that  ferocity,  were  the  Jesuit  Missionaries,  "  who,  from 
the  days  of  the  devoted  Jogues  to  the  close  of  the  seven  teeth  century,  when  the 
cruel  act  of  Bellomont  prohibited  any  further  attempts  to  Christianize  them, 
labored  among  the  tribes,  studied  the  various  dialects  with  the  care  and  abil- 
ity of  educated  men.  Chaumonot  wrote  a  Huron  Grammar,  and  works  in 
Onondaga,  Carhiel  in  Cayuga,  and  Bruyas  in  Mohawk."

levoix  and  Lafitau  wrote.  The  author,  a  missionary  of  the  Jesnit  Order,  was 
bom  in  Lyons,  and  arrived  in  Canada  in  1666.  One  year  after,  he  set  out  for 
the  Mohawk  Valley,  and  until  his  death,  in  1700,  at  the  Mission  where  his 
manuscript  was  found,  he  was  arduously  engaged  in  his  missionary  labors 
among  the  Indians  of  the  Five  Nations.  He  spoke  the  Mohawk  language 
with  as  much  facility  as  his  native  French,  and  must  have  been  equally  famil-

periods  of  time  with  each  of  the  tribes."  —  Shea.

The  author's  curiosity  led  him  to  examine  the  character  and  condition  of 
some  Indians  with  whom  he  was  casually  brought  into  contact.  A  much 
more  respectable  sentiment,  his  humanity,  was  soon  aroused,  and  he  at  once 
commenced  the  collection  of  material,  to  form  a  treatise  which  should  attract 
the  notice  of  the  governments  of  the  United  States  and  Great  Britain  to  the 
wrongs  and  sufferings  of  the  aborigines.  The  appearance  of  Heckwellder's 
Historical  Account  of  the  Indian  Nations,  deterred  him  from  completing  his 
work.  He  has  therefore  given  us  a  short  resume  of  relations  of  "  Cruel  Con- 
duct exercised  towards  the  Indians,"  with  traits  of  character  and  anecdotes, 
on  pp.  1  to  209.  -While  the  remainder  is  devoted  to  a  reproduction  of  Dr.  Jar-

The  grandfather  of  Lord  Byron,  the  poet,  in  suffering  shipwreck  upon  the 
shores  of  Patagonia,  was  afforded  the  opportunity  of  writing  some  of  the 
most  interesting  particulars  regarding  the  tall  natives  of  that  country.  His 
work  abounds  in  information,  more  novel,  perhaps,  than  strictly  accurate ; 
at  least,  it  was  the  fashion  a  century  since  to  deride  his  account.

One  hundred  copies  of  the  Narrative  were  privately  printed  for  Mr.  G.  W. 
Riggs  of  Washington,  entirely  for  presentation  to  societies  and  personal 
friends.  It  is  the  earliest  relation  of  Florida,  and  the  territory  from  the  At- 
lantic coast  across  the  Mississippi  to  the  Pacific  which  we  possess. 

The  narration  of  the  unfortunate  expedition  of  Cabeca  de  Vaca  across  the 
territory  now  occupied  by  the  Southern  States  from  Florida  to  Texas  in  the 
year  1 527,  nearly  three  and  a  half  centuries  ago,  is  full  of  the  most  melan- 
choly yet  absorbing  interest.  Nine  years  of  wanderings  and  captivity  among 
the  Indians  elapsed  before  this  ill-fated  member  of  a  still  more  unfortunate 
band  escaped  almost  alone  of  all  who  set  out  so  joyously  with  him.  His 
narration  has  been  received  by  all  historians  and  antiquaries  as  veracious.  It 
is  certainly  most  valuable  to  us  in  one  particular :  that  as  it  is  the  earliest 
liistoric  memoir  of  the  Indian  races  of  that  portion  of  America,  it  is  also  the 
most  minute  and  full  in  its  narrations  of  their  national  traits.

instead  of  as  in  the  former  quarto  edition  being  appended  to  the  Narrative. 
An  Appendix,  pp.  206  to  232,  contains  additional  papers.  A  Memoir  of 
€abe9a  de  Vaca  by  T.  W.  Field,  occupies  pp.  233  to  254.  A  Preface  by 
Hon.  H.  C.  Murphy,  precedes  the  Relation.  A  Memoir  of  the  translator, 
written  by  Mr.  J.  G.  Shea,  fills  pp.  255  to  263.  The  sudden  death  of  the  tal- 
ented translator,  occurring  while  these  sheets  were  passing  through  the  press, 
filled  the  hearts  of  many  bibliophiles  with  sadness. 

The  work  was  brought  out  under  the  patronage  and  personal  care  of  the  Hon. 
H.  C.  Murphy,  and  formed  a  fitting  monument  to  the  earnest  scholar  and 
gentleman  who  first  made  the  valuable  Relations  of  Cabeca  available  to  those 
who  could  not  read  it  in  the  original.

Published  as  the  Sixth  Number  of  Ternaux-Compan's  collection  of  Voyages^ 
Relations,  et  Memoires.  The  Commentaries  have  never  been  translated  into 
English. 

The  first  edition  of  Cabepa's  Relacion  was  printed  at  Sevilla  in  1542,  4°  66 
leaves;  the  second  at  Valladolid  in  155.5.  This  is  divided  into  two  parts, 
of  which  the  first  only  is  attributed  to  Cabe^a  de  Vaca  himself,  entitled 
Naufragios  de  Alvar  Nunez  de  Cabeca  de  Vaca  (also  in  the  Collection 
of  Barcia) ;  the  second,  Commentarios  de  Alvar  Nunez  Cabeca  de  Vaca,  a 
work  which  is  supposed  to  have  been  written  by  his  Secretary,  Pierre  Fernan- 
dez, while  Nunez  was  in  prison.  "  These  two  works,"  says  M.  Ternaux, 
"  were  composed  for  the  justification  of  Cabeca  de  Vaca,  but  did  not  prevent 
the  disappointment  of  his  being  condemned  to  exile  in  Africa  on  account  of 
the  cruelties  perpetrated  by  him  in  America."  During  his  long  wanderings 
among  the  Indians,  with  whom  he  became  a  sort  of  divinity  or  prophet,  he 
traversed  the  entire  breadth  of  the  continent  from  Florida  to  the  Pacific, 
leading  the  tribes  of  devotees,  whose  superstitious  reverence  he  had  excited. 
The  first  of  these  works  has  been  many  times  reprinted  :  by  Barcia  in  1749  ; 
by  Ternaux  in  1837  ;  by  Buckingham  Smith  in  1851,  and  a  new  edition  by 
the  latter  in  1871. 

The  story  of  his  arrest  and  imprisonment  is  told  by  Ulrich  Schmidel  in 
his  Vera  Historia  Admirandce,  chapters  xxxix.  and  xl.  Having  been  ap- 
pointed governor  of  Buenos  Ayres  in  1540,  he  a  few  months  after  organized 
an  expedition  against  a  tribe  of  Indians  known  as  the  Surucusis.  On  arriv- 
ing near  their  territory  he  was  seized  with  a  disease  which  seems  to  have 
rendered  him  incapable  of  command,  perhaps  partially  insane.  His  camp 
was  fixed  for  nearly  three  months  in  one  of  the  most  pestilential  spots  of  the 
whole  country,  and  no  entreaties  could  induce  his  withdrawal  or  advance. 

Schmidel  says  the  governor  exercised  his  authority  with  so  rigorous  a  hand 
that  his  soldiers  equally  detested  and  feared  him.  At  length,  determined  no 
longer  to  endure  the  governor's  harshness  and  inactivity,  they  seized  him  in 
his  tent,  and  kept  him  a  prisoner  for  more  than  a  year,  when  he  was  sent 
under  guard  to  Spain.  Mr.  Harrisse  asserts  that  Cabeca  de  Vaca  was  bom 
at  Xeres,  and  that  he  has  seen  it  stated  somewhere  that  he  died  at  a  ripe  old 
age  at  Seville  in  1564.  This  fact  is  stated  by  Techo  in  his  Historia  Provin- 
cicB  Paraguarice.  Leodii,  1673.  Both  editions  of  his  work  are  rare,  the  first 
exceedingly  so. 

The  Relacion  aroused  the  ire  of  Caspar  Plautus,  who  under  the  cognomen  of 
Philoponus  wrote  the  Nova-Typis.  At  page  91  he  arraigns  Cabeca  for  pre- 
suming to  perform  miracles  through  his  intercessions  with  the  Deity ;  Philo- 
ponus claiming  such  prerogatives  as  solely  belonging  to  the  priestly  orders 
and  not  to  the  "  Milicia  Christiana."  The  answers  to  his  prayers,  exhibited 
in  the  falling  of  showers  of  rain,  the  healing  of  the  sick,  and  the  raising  of 
the  dead,  were  not  considered  by  Philoponus  as  conclusive  evidence  on  that 
point.  So  important  was  the  arraignment  of  Philoponus  deemed  in  that 
day,  that  a  treatise  was  written  by  Don  Antonio  Ardoino,  to  refute  the 
calumnies  of  the  monk.  This  was  printed  by  Barcia  in  the  first  volume  of 
his  Historiadores  Primitivos  under  the  title  of  Examen  Apologetico  de  la  His- 
torica  Narracion  de  los  Naufragios,  Peregrinaciones,  i  Milagros  de  Alvar  Nunez 
Cabeca  de  Vaca.  [Apologetical  Examination  of  the  Historical  Narrative  of 
the  Shipwrecks,  Travels,  and  Miracles  of  Cabeca  de  Vaca.]  The  treatise  is 
ponderous  with  learning,  and  canvasses  every  possible  phase  of  the  conditions 
of  possible  miracles.

Captain  Del  Eio  discovered  and  examined  the  now  famous  ruins  of  Palenque 
in  1787,  but  his  manuscript  report  remained  in  the  provincial  archives  of 
Guatemala  until  a  short  time  prior  to  their  translation  and  publication  in 
the  present  form.  The  translator  gave  so  literal  a  version  that  he  did  not 
change  the  references  in  the  body  of  the  work  which  referred  to  drawings 
that  had  been  irrecoverably  lost.  Captain  Del  Rio's  Report  occupies  pp.  1 
to  21,  and  in  the  remainder  of  the  work  Dr.  Cabrera  attempts  to  establish 
the  theory  that  the  figures  upon  the  monuments  of  Palenque  prove  a  con- 
nection between  the  Egyptians  and  the  Aboriginal  race  which  constructed 
them.  All  this  is  very  ingeniously  argued,  and  the  comparison,  on  the 
whole,  more  fairly  and  learnedly  stated  than  the  weavers  of  hypotheses 
usually  do.  From  the  occurrence  of  an  eclipse  recorded  291  years  before 
Christ,  corresponding  with  the  same  date  in  the  Mexican  calendar,  he  con- 
structs a  table  of  the  Mexican  years.

This  translation  of  Luther's  Catechism  into  the  language  of  the  Virginia 
(or  more  correctly  the  Delaware)  Indians  was  made  by  Thomas  Campanius, 
of  Stockholm.  He  was  for  many  years  the  resident  pastor  of  the  colony, 
and  a  learned  and  zealous  man,  not  only  in  the  exercise  of  his  religious 
functions  but  in  literary  pursuits.  This  book  was  printed  for  distribution  in

consequence  become  very  rare.  The  last  six  pages  are  devoted  to  an  anal-

styled  himself  John  Campanius  Hohnensis,  or  Campanius  of  Stockholm, 
and  in  consequence  in  some  catalogues  the  book  is  found  credited  to  Holme.

Campanius  (Thos.) 

A  Short  Description  of  the  Province  of  New  Sweden,  now  called 
by  the  English  Pennsylvania  in  America.  Compiled  from  the 
relations  and  writings  of  persons  worthy  of  credit  and  adorned 
with  maps  and  plates,  by  Thomas  Campanius  Holm.  Translated 
from  the  Swedish,  for  the  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania,  with

This  was  the  work  of  a  grandson  of  the  Swedish  missionary,  who  translated 
Luther's  Catechism  into  the  Uinguage  of  the  Virginia  Indians.  Book  iii.  pp. 
112  to  143,  is  entitled  "Of  the  American  Indians  in  the  Province,"  and 
Book  iv.  pp.  144  to  160,  has  the  heading,  "Vocabulary  and  Phrases  in  the 
American  Language  of  New  Sweden."  The  descriptions  of  the  characteris- 
tics of  the  Indians  of  Pennsylvania  as  given  by  Campanius,  have  not  a  little 
value,  as  statements  made  probably  from  the  narrations  of  an  actual  observer. 
Pastor  Campanius,  his  grandfather,  must  have  had  a  very  intimate  acquaint- 
ance with  the  aborigines,  as  his  translation  of  the  Catechism  in  the  Indian 
tongue  fully  attests.

The  lady  who  ^vrote  this  pleasing,  but  not  very  valuable  work,  had  little  per- 
sonal experience  among  the  Indians,  and  therefore  fills  its  pages  with  incidents 
and  speculations  derived  from  the  gossip  of  the  camp.  The  most  valuable  por- 
tion of  the  book  is  that  in  which  she  gives  the  personal  narrations  of  some 
restored  captives,  scarcely  to  be  deemed  happy  in  surviving  the  awful  mas- 
sacres of  their  families.  They  were  all  married  women,  who,  having  wit- 
nessed the  slaughter  of  their  husbands  and  children,  were  reserved  by  the 
savages  for  a  worse  fate.  It  is  now  well  known,  that  although  the  Algon- 
quin and  Iroquois  tribes  never  violated  their  female  captives,  the  Indians  of 
the  Plains  almost  as  invariably  subject  them  to  the  most  horrible  personal 
outrages.

to  be  regretted  that  the  author  had  not  made  use  of  his  long  intervals  of 
inaction,  to  record  more  of  his  observations  of  Indian  life  in  that  region,  and 
to  abbreviate  his  journal.  Every  fox  and  bear's  cub  which  fell  a  victim  to 
his  skill,  is  immortalized  by  a  paragraph  ;  but  ethnology  has  little  to  thank

No  person  ever  lived  who  knew  the  character  of  the  Indian  better  than  this 
famous  frontiersman  ;  and  he  seems  to  have  had  a  fair  critic  for  a  biographer. 
His  book  is  crowded  with  the  incidents  of  border  warfare,  and  encounters 
with  the  savage  tribes  of  the  Great  Plains  and  the  Rocky  Mountains.

The  first  edition  of  Cartier's  Relations  printed  at  Paris  in  1545,  has  proved 
hitherto  to  be  of  such  extreme  rarity  as  that  but  a  single  copy  has  been  known 
to  exist  for  nearly  three  hundred  years.  The  editor  of  the  third,  printed 
at  Rouen  in  1598,  announces  that  he  had  translated  it  from  a  foreign  lan- 
guage, which  was,  doubtless,  the  Italian  of  this  second  edition  of  Ramusio, 
a  fact  wiiich  proves  that  even  at  a  date  so  early  as  only  fifty  years  after  its 
publication,  the  first  edition  was  unknown.  Cartier's  Relations  aftbrd  us 
the  first  positive  information  regarding  the  Indians  of  Canada,  and  contain 
the  first  vocabularies  ever  printed  of  the  languages  of  any  nation  of  Amer-

The  Senecas  having,  at  the  suggestion  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  consented  to 
sell  their  lands,  a  controversy  arose  regarding  the  transaction  which  became 
on  the  part  of  their  opponents  somewhat  acrimonious.  To  justify  them- 
selves the  committee  of  the  society  having  the  matter  in  charge,  printed  this 
pamphlet.  A  sharp  answer  written  by  N.  T.  Strong,  one  of  the  Seneca 
chiefs,  appeared  in  the  succeeding  year,  and  this  met  with  several  rejoinders 
and  replies.

[Narrative  of  the  journey  to  Cibola  (New  Mexico),  undertaken  in  1540,  which 
treats  of  all  the  people  who  inhabit  that  country,  of  their  manners  and 
customs.] 

This  volume  forms  No.  10  of  Temaux-Compans'  collection  of  Voyages,  Rela- 
tions, et  Memoires,  never  before  printed.  Although  this  relation  is  declared  to 
be  superior  to  most  of  the  narratives  of  the  period,  and  its  author  without  doubt 
a  gentleman  at  least  by  education,  it  is  probable  that  he  served  as  a  private 
soldier  in  the  memorable  expedition.  The  famed  Cibola  ranked  in  attraction 
to  the  'Spanish  Adventurers,  with  the  El  Dorado  of  South  America,  and 
Norembcga,  the  great  city  thought  to  exist  on  the  peninsula,  now  occupied  by 
the  New  England  States  and  the  two  most  eastern  British  Colonies.  The 
Seven  Cities,  of  whose  marvels  so  much  had  been  told,  were  the  destination 
of  the  expedition  ;  and  it  remained  for  the  government  of  the  United  States 
to  prove  their  existence,  more  than  three  hundred  years  after  the  exploration 
of  Coronado.  In  the  State  of  New  Mexico  still  exists  the  many  storied 
structures  of  Zuni  and  other  cities  of  the  Aztec,  or  pre-Aztec  race.  The 
work  is  one  of  the  highest  interest,  not  only  as  a  relation  of  the  first  visit 
to  the  territories  of  New  Mexico,  Arizona,  and  Colorado,  but  more  particularly 
to  the  subject  of  this  bibliography,  in  presenting  a  view  by  such  an  intelli- 
gent observer,  of  the  Indian  nations  three  hundred  years  ago. 

The  work  is  divided  into  three  parts,  of  which  the  second  is  entitled,  "  Descrip- 
tion of  the  Provinces,  Mountains,  and  of  the  Villages  and  their  Inhabitants, 
Of  the  Religion  and  of  the  Manners  of  the  Natives."  At  pages  8  to  14  will 
be  found  an  account  of  the  return  of  Cabe^a  de  Vaca  and  his  three  compan- 
ions ;  of  the  impostor  Estevan,  the  negro,  who  accompanied  Cabe^a  ;  of  his 
engagement  to  act  as  the  avant  courier  of  Vasquez,  of  his  royal  progresses 
through  the  country  with  his  constantly  increasing  harem  of  beautiful  In- 
dian girls  ;  and  finally  his  condemnation  to  death  by  the  Caciques  of  Cibola, 
on  the  charge  of  absurd  deceit,  in  announcing  that  he,  a  black  man,  was  the 
ambassador  of  those  who  were  white  as  the  snow.

Years'  travel  amongst  forty-eight  of  the  Wildest  and  most  re- 
mote Tribes  of  Savages  in  North  America.  Imperial  folio,  case 
containing  twenty-jive  plates,  colored  in  imitation  of  drawings, 
with  twenty  pages  of  text,  also  in  folio.  George  Catlin,  London, 
1844.  258 

These  beautiful  views  of  scenes  in  Indian  life  are  probably  the  most  truthful 
ever  presented  to  the  public.  Their  great  size  (two  feet  by  twenty  inches) 
allows  the  figures  to  be  distinct  and  life-like ;  and  as  no  one  was  ever  better 
fitted  by  experience  and  facility  of  power  to  secure  upon  the  canvas  all  that 
would  interest  us  in  aboriginal  life,  these  prints  will  remain,  probably  as 
long  as  their  fabric  lasts,  the  best  delineations  of  its  scenes.

In  the  latter  part  of  1866  one  of  the  numbers  of  Truebner's  monthly  catalogue 
contained  a  notice  of  a  pamphlet  purporting  to  be  written  by  Mi\  Catlin 
upon  the  secret  customs  of  the  Mandans,  said  to  be  indescribably  lascivious. 
This  excited  the  indignant  denial  by  Mr.  Catlin,  of  his  authorship  of  the 
essay,  of  which,  as  only  fifty  copies  were  printed,  little  was  known.  The 
next  year,  as  a  more  eifectual  disproval  of  his  association  with  what  he 
deemed  a  disreputable  performance,  Mr.  Catlin  produced  0-kee-pa.  It  was  as 
much  a  defense  of  his  early  friends  the  Mandans  as  of  himself.  The  terrible 
religious  and  civil  rite,  here  pictured  with  such  horrible  fidelity,  is  no  longer 
practiced,  as  the  interesting  people  who  described  it  are  totally  extinct  as  a 
nation.

This  edition  is  the  only  complete  one  of  Champlain's  Voyages.  The  first 
part  of  the  volume  is  an  almost  literal  reproduction  of  all  the  other  voyages, 
excepting  some  minuter  relations  of  the  same  events  in  the  edition  of  1613.

work,  to  1632.  The  great  map  is  also  printed  here  for  the  first  time.  A 
second  edition  of  this  complete  Work  of  Champlain  bears  the  date  of  1640, 
differing  in  only  one  or  two  verbal  particulars.  A  third  edition  was  printed 
by  the  government  of  France  in  1830,  in  2  vols.  8°,  and  a  fourth  in  1870,  in 
quarto,  at  Quebec.

Beside  these,  some  copies  of  the  edition  of  1632  have  two  variations  in  the 
imprint  of  the  publisher :  one  being  Chez  Claude  Collet,  and  the  other  Chez 
Pierre  le  Mer.  Mr.  Stevens  asserts  also  that  two  leaves,  bearing  the  signa- 
tures Dij  and  Diij,  were  canceled  in  most  copies  and  reprinted  to  escape  the 
censure  of  a  reflection  upon  Cardinal  Richelieu.  Tiie  first  paragraph  on  p. 
27,  Sig.  Dij  of  the  amended  copies  ends  with  "  telles  decouvertes."  The  re- 
jected passage  was  the  mildest  possible  assertion  in  five  lines,  that  great 
princes  might  know  well  how  to  conduct  the  government  of  a  kingdom,  and 
yet  not  know  how  to  sail  a  ship.  The  map  with  the  imprint  of  Collet  is 
slightly  smaller  than  in  the  others,  which  both  contain  the  additional  words, 
"  Faict  I'an  1632  par  le  Sieur  de  Champlain."  This  work  gives  us  the  first 
accurate  accounts  we  have  of  the  Indians  of  the  interior  of  the  present  State 
of  New  York.  It  is  very  largely  devoted  to  descriptions  of  their  habits, 
modes  of  life  and  warfare ;  and  of  personal  observations  and  experiences 
among  the  Algonquins  and  Iroquois.  The  most  remarkable  event  in  Indian 
history  was  caused  by  Champlain's  first  visit  to  the  shores  of  the  lake  bear- 
ing his  name.  In  a  conflict  between  the  two  named  races  of  savages,  he 
gave  the  victory  to  his  friends  the  Abnaquis,  by  the  use  of  his  mnsket.  The 
Iroquois  never  forgave  tlie  injury,  and  thousands  of  Frenchmen  were 
slaughtered  to  avenge  it.  The  Six  Nations  always  fought  with  the  English 
against  their  enemies,  and  twice  nearly  destroyed  the  French  colonies  with 
their  own  warriors  alone.

This  "  Narrative  of  (-hamplain's  First  Voyage  to  the  New  World,"  is  of  great 
value  to  us  in  establishing,  by  an  unimpeachable  authority,  tlie  story  of  the 
awful  cruelties  which  were  inflicted  upon  the  Indians  of  the  West  Indies  by 
the  Spaniards.  Fac-simile  lithographs  of  Champlain's  drawings  are  given  ; 
among  which  are  representations  of  Indian  feasts,  flogging  Indians  to 
church,  and  burning  groups  of  the  natives  at  the  stake.  The  biography 
gives  an  interesting  narration  of  Champlain's  dealings  with  the  Indians  of 
New  France.

is  the  rarest  of  all  of  them.  It  needs  no  more  than  the  title  to  show  that  its 
subject  is  almost  wholly  the  Aborigines  of  New  France.

a  second  edition  in  1620  and  another  in  1627.  The  plates,  illustrative

Very  enthusiastic  and  wealthy  collectors  are  not  satisfied  with  anything  less 
than  perfect  copies  of  all  the  editions  of  Champlain's  Works.  They  are 
also  exceedingly  scrupulous  in  obtaining  them  with  large  margins,  and  all 
the  maps  and  plates  in  fine  condition.  A  fastidious  collector,  with  only 
ordinary  greed  of  acquisition,  may,  however,  rest  well  satisfied  with  a  fair 
sound  copy  of  Champlain's  Voyages  of  the  edition  of  1632  with  the  original 
map.  He  has  therein  all  which  the  great  discoverer  wrote  relating  to  New 
France,  as  it  finally  left  his  own  hands  perfected.  If,  however,  unsatisfied 
longings  still  haunt  his  brain,  he  may  add  the  edition  of  1613  with  its  beau- 
tiful plates  and  plans ;  but  let  him  beware  of  setting  his  heart  on  The  Sau- 
vages  of  1603,  as  he  will  most  probably  pass  a  lifetime  without  even  seeing  a 
copy.  Copies  of  any  of  the  editions  of  Champlain  in  perfect  condition  are 
exceedingly  rare,  and  have,  within  a  few  years,  risen  to  almost  fabulous 
prices.  $150  each  has  been  paid  for  the  editions  of  1613,  1618,  1620,  1627, 
and  1632.

[General  History  and  Description  of  New  France,  with  the  Historical  Journal 
of  a  Tour  made  by  order  of  the  King  in  North  America.] 

Vol.  HI.  cdntains  the  "Journal  of  a  Voyage,"  wiiich  has  been  translated  into 
English,  and  published  in  London  and  Dublin  in  two  volumes. 

The  extraordinary  man  who  was  the  author  of  these  volumes  left  no  subject 
relating  to  the  history  of  the  affairs  of  fiis  wonderful  order  in  America  un- 
touched, and  as  tlie  missions  of  the  Company  of  Jesus  among  the  Indians 
were  the  principal  purpose  of  the  fathers  in  both  of  the  Americas,  the  curi- 
osity of  Charlevoix  permeated  every  accessible  scpiare  mile  of  their  surface  to 
learn  the  habits,  the  customs,  and  the  secrets  of  the  life  of  the  strange  people 
his  brethren  sought  to  subdue  to  the  influence  of  the  cross.  Fatiier  Char- 
levoix accomplished  results  in  his  investigations  which  seem  marvelous  to  us 
in  the  vast  accumulation  of  facts  wliich  his  pen  has  illustrated.  Of  his  numer- 
ous works,  the  Nouvelle  France  is  the  greatest  achievement. 

Father  Charlevoix  depended  very  largely  lor  his  authorities,  upon  the  docu- 
ments found  in  the  Arcliives  of  the  French  Marine,  but  as  these  only  cov- 
ered the  period  subsequent  to  the  establishment  of  that  department  under 
the  Minister  Colbert,  he  has  left  the  events  prior  to  that  era  in  some  dark- 
ness. The  historical  portion  of  his  work  therefore,  partakes  more  of  the  na- 
ture of  a  biographical  narrative  of  the  affairs  of  the  Viceroys  or  Governors 
of  Canada,  but  is  not  the  less  interesting  on  that  account.  It  is  doubtless 
the  most  truthful,  as,  being  the  work  of  a  learned  man,  it  is  certainly  the 
most  valuable  treatise  upon  the  affairs  of  New  France.  Father  Charlevoix 
however  shared  the  prejudices  of  his  order,  against  the  missionaries  of  other 
branches  of  the  Catholic  Church,  and  accordingly  the  works  of  those  emi- 
nent Recollects,  Fathers  Sagard  and  Hennepin,  who  preceded  him,  are  much 
decried  by  him.  The  works  of  Father  LeClercq,  although  somewhat  su- 
perciliously treated  in  his  "  Histoire  "  have  evidently  aided  him  in  his  re- 
searches. 

It  is  doing  no  more  than  justice  to  the  merit  of  Charlevoix  to  say  that  in  all 
the  high  qualities  requisite  for  a  great  historian  he  had  no  suj)erior.  His 
learning,  his  research,  and  his  opportunities,  were  only  equaled  by  his  zeal, 
his  intelligence,  and  we  had  nearly  said  his  impartiality.  In  only  a  very 
limited  number  of  instances  can  he  be  impeached  on  the  charge  of  unfairness. 
His  partisanship  for  his  own  order  most  unjustly  deprived  of  the  privileges 
won  by  the  noblest  self-sacrifices,  inclined  him  to  render  at  least  only  scant 
justice  to  th&  Recollects,  who  anticipated  the  Jesuits  in  missions  to  the  In- 
dians of  Canada.  The  Introduction  has  a  most  valuable  criticism  of  the 
authors  who  had  written  treatises  upon  the  origin  of  the  American  Indians. 
It  is  so  copious  as  to  extend  over  fifty-nine  ])ages. 

An  almost  endless  variety  exists  in  the  editions  and  changes  of  position  of  the 
parts  in  Charlevoix's  three  volumes.  The  Part  [Ixi.]  is  often  wanting,  but 
is  necessary  to  form  a  complete  copy.  Another  edition  was  printed  in  Paris 
in  1744  in  6  vols.  12°.

This  is  a  translation  of  the  third  volume  of  the  Histoire  de  la  Nouvelle  France. 
Another  edition,  and  an  entirely  independent  translation  of  Charlevoix's 
work,  was  printed  in  one  volume,  London,  1763,  entitled  Letters  to  the  Duchess 
of  Lesdiguieres.  It  is  printed  in  a  much  inCerior  manner,  and  somewhat  less 
complete.  The  accounts  of  the  Indians  of  Canada,  as  written  by  tliis  emi- 
nent historian,  are  among  the  most  authentic  which  have  ever  been  given  us. 
He  was  himself  a  missionary  among  them;  conversant  with  other  learned 
priests  who  had  spent  their  lives  among  the  natives,  and  he  had  access  to  a 
great  mass  of  documents  of  most  unsuspected  veracity.  His  work  teems 
with  the  most  vivid  relations  of  their  customs,  religious  rites,  and  other  pecu- 
liarities.

These  five  volumes  are  all  hitherto  published ;  the  other  it  is  asserted  is 
already  in  press.  Of  the  quarto,  twenty-five  copies  only  were  printed  The 
accurate  scholarship,  and  the  fastidious  taste  of  Dr.  Shea,  are  sufficient 
guarantees  that  the  work  is  a  faithful  translation,  in  graceful  English,  of 
Father  Charlevoix's  great  work.

Father  Chaumonot,  born  at  Chatillon  in  1611,  was  a  missionary  in  Canada 
from  the  1st  of  August,  1639,  until  his  death,  which  happened  in  Quelwc,  Feb- 
ruary 21,  1693.  During  this  long  period  he  was  a  missionary  either  to  the 
Hurons  or  the  Iroquois.  He  wrote  a  Dictionary  of  the  radical  words  of  the 
Huron  language,  with  a  grammar  and  catechism  in  the  same  tongue.  These 
three  works  remain  in  MSS.  A  translation  of  the  Grammar  was  printed  in 
the  second  volume  of  the  Quebec  Historical  Society.

The  authors  of  these  volumes,  who  give  minute  details  of  Protestant  missions 
among  the  Indians,  most  strangely  fail  to  more  than  incidentally  notice  the 
labors  of  John  Eliot  and  Experience  Mayhew.  They  wholly  ignore  the  ex- 
istence of  the  first  Protestant  Missionary  Society  in  England,  '  The  Society 
for  the  Propagation  of  the  Gospel  among  tlie  Indians  of  North  America, 
and  of  course  utterly  fi\il  to  mention  the  heroic  labors  of  the  Jesuit  Mission- 
aries in  Christianizing  the  Indians  of  Canada  and  New  York  near  a  quarter 
of  a  century  before  the  Puritans  landed  in  New  England.

editions  are  noted  as  printed  in  Venice  during  the  same  year.  Only  the  first 
of  this  work,  to  the  everhisting  regret  of  scholars,  has  ever  heen  printed.  The

The  second  and  third  parts  of  this  edition,  commonly  attributed  to  Cieza,  were 
written  by  Gomara,  whose  work  was  first  printed  at  Medina  in  1553.  Hav- 
ing fallen  under  the  ban  in  Spain,  and  strictly  prohibited  from  circulation,  it 
found  a  place  of  refuge  in  Venice,  from  whence  five  editions  were  issued  in  a 
period  of  seven  years.  The  uniform  testimony  of  scholars  has  placed  the 
work  of  Cieza  in  the  same  rank  with  that  of  Benzoni.  Both  arc  remarkable 
for  aftbrding  us  the  most  authentic  views  of  the  primitive  condition  of  the 
Indians  before  tyranny  had  crushed,  or  civilization  had  corrupted  them. 
Both  are  the  narrations  of  those  who  saw  with  intelligent  eyes  the  memora- 
ble things  they  described.

This  is  the  first  English  edition  of  Peter  de  Cieza's  work.  It  was  published 
in  Stevens'  Collection  of  Voyages  and  Travels,  in  which  also  Lawson's 
Carolina  first  appeared.  Both  of  these  works  were  also  issued  separate  from 
the  collection,  with  the  addition  of  distinct  titles.  The  work  ])urports  to  be 
a  translation  of  the  First  Part  of  I'edio  di  Cieza's  Historij  of  Pern,  and 
in  the  main  is  a  fair  rendering  of  the  original,  except  that  it  is  somewhat 
abridged,  as  instead  of  one  hundred  and  nineteen  chapters  it  has  but  ninety- 
four.  It  is  a  curious  and  very  interesting  history,  particularly  of  the  secret 
mysteries  of  the  worship  of  the  Incas,  and  the  peculiarities  of  each  tribe 
of  Indians  inhabiting  Peru.

The  Onondnjras  were  the  central  tribe  of  the  Six  Nations,  the  guardians  of 
the  great  council  fire,  and  the  custodians  of  the  important  records  of  the 
Confederacy.  From  their  cliief's  was  selected  the  highest  officer,  styled  by 
Europeans  the  King.  Residing  near  them,  as  the  author  did  for  many 
years,  familiar  with  their  observances,  and  often  present  at  the  great  coun- 
cils of  the  Confederacy,  when  numerous  representatives  of  the  tribes  assem- 
bled from  their  colonies  around  tlie  upper  lakes,  he  could  not  but  be  im- 
bued with  the  desire  to  make  his  history  of  the  county,  a  record  of  the 
great  tribes  which  once  inhabited  it.  Mr.  Clark  has  evidently  examined  al- 
most every  source  of  information  regarding  the  Six  Nations,  we  possess  in 
the  English,  French,  and  Spanish  languages,  and  accordingly  the  first 
seventy -eight  pages  are  occupied  with  a  resume  of  what  he  thus  gleaned. 
But  if.  is  in  chapter  v.  pp.  79  to  125,  that  he  adds  entirely  new  material 
to  their  h'story  in  his  "  Biographical  Sketches  of  Distinguished  Chief's  of  the 
Onondaga  Tribe."  This  valuable  work  was  ijrincipally  derived  from  ciiiefs 
or  pioneers  then  living.  Chapter  vi.  pp.  126  to  209,  is  devoted  to  an 
account  of  the  French  Jesuit  and  Recollect  Missions  among  the  Onondagas, 
and  chapter  vii.  pp.  210  to  24.5,  to  a  history  of  the  English,  German,  and 
American  Missions  in  the  tribe;  the  last  chapter  being  entirely  new  ma- 
terial in  their  history.  Chapters  viii.  and  ix.  pp.  246  to  322,  is  occupied 
with  the  early  history  of  the  Onondagas,  being  a  collection  of  much 
original  matter,  combined  with  gleanings  from  documentary  and  printed 
accounts.  Chapter  x.  pp.  322  to  363,  entitled  "  Reminiscences,"  is  tilled  with 
a  list  of  aboriginal  names  and  their  signification,  expeditions  against  the 
tribe,  treaties,  and  sketches  of  Indian  traders  resident  in  it.  It  will  thus 
be  seen  that  the  first  volume  of  this  work  is  in  fact  a  history  of  the  Onon- 
daga tribe  of  the  Six  Nations,  and  holds  the  highest  rank  among  treatises 
on  Aboriginal  affairs  for  original  and  valuable  information.

In  this  work  the  author  produces  those  lighter  results  of  his  research  into 
Indian  history,  which  the  dignity  of  his  greater  work  did  not  permit  to  be 
introduced.  The  traditions,  legends,  and  the  romantic  shades  of  the  char-

The  Abbe  Clavigero  resided  for  forty  years  in  the  provinces  of  New  Spain, 
and  expended  a  vast  deal  of  labor  in  becoming  familiar  with  the  languages 
and  dialects  of  the  Aborigines  of  those  countries  ;  in  examining  their  picto- 
graphic  MSS.,  their  monuments,  and  thdr  traditions.  His  "  Account  of  the 
Authors  who  have  written  upon  Mexican  History,"  pages  13  to  28,  is  ex- 
ceedinirly  important  and  interesting.  He  names  thirty-nine,  Indian  and 
Spanish  authors,  with  critical  notices  of  their  works,  besides  noting  that 
his  attention  had  l)een  given  to  numerous  other  writers  in  various  lan- 
guages. On  pages  28  to  31,  Clavigei'o  describes  the  Mexican  historic 
paintings  he  has  examined.  His  work  is  esteemed  the  most  valuable  and 
complete  of  all  works  on  the  Toltec  and  Aztec  races,  as  he  collected  all  their 
authentic  material  from  works  already  published,  and  added  thereto  the 
valuable  results  of  his  own  examinations.

The  origin,  history,  and  ethnological  traits  of  the  Indians  of  America,  seem 
to  have  occupied  much  of  the  attention  of  this  statesman  and  philosopher. 
In  the  first  edition  of  this  pamphlet,  dated  1818,  of  which  but  one  copy  (now 
in  the  State  Library  of  New  York)  seems  to  have  survived  to  our  day.  Gov- 
ernor Clinton  stated,  with  some  degree  of  positiveness,  that  there  were  evi- 
dences of  a  Spanish  colony  having  existed  in  the  Onondaga  Valley  among  the 
Six  Nations.  Nothing  of  this  appears  in  the  second  edition,  and  probably 
the  rarity  of  the  first  is  occasioned  by  its  destruction  at  the  hands  of  the  au- 
thor.

W.  Coats,  in  many  Voyages  to  that  locality  between  the  years 
1727  and  1751.  With  an  Appendix,  containing  extracts  from 
the  log  of  Captain  Middleton  on  his  Voyage  for  the  discovery 
of  the  North-West  Passage  in  H.  M.  S.  Furnace  in  1741-82. 
Edited  by  John  Barrow,  Esq.  8°  pp.  x. -|-147.  London, 
printed  for  the  Hakluyt  Society,  1852.  332 

Captain  Coats'  narrative  of  his  voyages  and  travels  along  the  shores  of  Hud- 
son's Bay,  and  the  rivers  emptying  therein,  occupies  pp.  1  to  92  of  this  vol- 
ume, and  is  largely  composed  of  curious  details  of  the  numerous  tribes  of 
Indians  that  occupied  the  country  a  century  and  a  half  ago.  Some  of  the 
customs  he  mentions,  have  been  the  subject  of  no  little  controversy,  in  proof 
and  rebuttal  of  their  actual  existence.  Of  cannibalism  especially,  Captain 
Coats  narrates  with  corroboratory  details  more  than  one  instance.  Not  the 
least  in  interest  to  us,  is  his  enumeration  of  tribes  of  savages,  so  long  extinct 
their  very  names  had  been  forgotten  but  for  his  narrative.

There  is  but  little  in  this  volume  regarding  the  American  Aborigines,  and  that 
is  of  little  value,  being  derived  from  the  estimates  of  persons  who  had  no 
opportunity  of  verifying  them,  from  observation  or  facts  otherwise  obtained.

The  first  edition  of  Cockbum's  very  curious  account,  at  first  believed  to  be  fic- 
titious ;  but  in  later  years  received  as  authentic.  "  A  Brief  Discovery  of  the 
East  Indies  by  Nicholas  Withington  "  is  added,  which  gave  rise  to  the  attnb- 
uting  of  Cockbum's  account  to  the  same  author.  His  relations  of  incidents 
of  travel  among  the  Indians  of  Central  America,  and  his  descriptions  of  the 
peculiarities  of  their  character  and  customs,  are  valuable  on  account  of  its  fill- 
mg  a  period  in  the  history  of  their  characteristics  not  elsewhere  to  be  found. 
The  work  has  been  many  times  reprinted,  with  but  slight  variations  in  the 
title,  except  in  prefixing  the  phrase,  The  Unfortunate  Englishman.

Bradford  in  1727.  The  two  subsequent  ones  have  additions,  interpolations 
to,  and  variations  from,  Colden's  work,  by  English  editors,  who  tagged  their 
own  valueless  observations,  and  absurd  changes  upon  his  work,  without

Mr.  Colton  seems  to  have  been  imbued  with  the  laudable  design  of  affording 
such  information  regarding  the  Indians  he  visited,  as  would  not  only  excite 
the  interest  of  his  readers  in  his  nan'ation  of  incident,  but  would  arouse  the 
sympathy  of  the  humane  to  their  wretched  condition.  Almost  the  entire 
work  is  devoted  to  the  relation  of  Indian  affairs.  More  than  half  of  the 
first  volume  is  occupied  with  personal  observations  of  Aboriginal  life,  and 
statements  made  to  him  regarding  it.  The  second  volume  is  entirely 
filled  with  a  collection  of  facts  relating  to  their  origin,  wars,  treaties, 
treatment  by  the  governments  of  Great  Britain  and  the  United  States,  and 
the  result  of  missions  among  them.

A  Succinct  abridgment  of  a  Voyage  Made  within  the  inland

the  Coasts  of  Brazil  and  Guiana,  down  the  River  of  Amazons  : 
As  it  was  read  in  the  Public  Assembly  of  the  Academy  of  Sci- 
ences at  Paris,  April  28,  1745.  By  Mons.  De  La  Condamine, 
of  that  Academy.  To  which  is  annexed  A  Map  of  the  Mar-

The  author,  having  been  fortunate  enough  to  escape  assassination  in  a  popu- 
lar €meute,  excited  against  the  French  Academicians,  in  Cuenca,  during  which 
one  of  them  fell  a  victim  to  the  fury  of  the  mob,  returned  to  France  with 
the  results  of  his  scientific  expedition.  This  work  purports  to  be  an  abridg- 
ment of  his  Relation,  but  it  is  a  complete  translation  of  the  one  published  in 
France.  The  author  abridged  his  MSS.,  and  published  the  narrative  por- 
tion, omitting  the  statistical  and  scientific  parts.  He  examined  with  care 
the  condition  of  the  Indians,  and  has  some  novel  and  interesting  particulars 
of  their  languages.  He  noted  particularly  that  some  tribes  could  enumerate 
no  more  than  three  in  their  own  tongue,  and  that  their  articulation  of  words 
was  performed  wholly  by  inspiration,  being  utterly  incapable  of  imitation  by 
the  vocal  organs  of  other  nations.  Many  other  interesting  particulars  of  the 
savages  of  Central  South  America  are  given  by  this  savant.

visited,  are  very  judicious."  —  Leclerc  CcUalogtie.

Condition  of  the  Indian  Tribes. 

Report  of  the  Joint  Special  Committee  appointed  under  Joint 
Resolution  of  March  3d,  1865,  with  an  Appendix.  8°  pp.  532, 
Washington,  Government  Printing  Office,  1867.  354 

This  volume  contains  the  evidence  of  the  horrible  massacre  of  unoffending 
Indians  at  Sand  Creek.  Nothing  in  Las  Casas'  relations  of  Spanish  atroc- 
ities surpasses  it. 

Eight  hundred  miners,  gamblers,  and  adventurers  of  the  border,  were  enlisted 
under  Colonel  Chivington,  a  preacher  of  the  Methodist  Church,  to  punish 
some  thefts  of  horses  and  murders  committed  by  Indians,  who  would  not 
remain  to  be  caught.  A  peaceable  tribe  of  Cheyennes  and  Shoshones,  with 
whom  Major  Wynkoop,  United  States  agent,  had  made  a  treaty  a  few  days 
before,  lay  in  the  route,  and  hailed  the  approach  of  the  army  with  the  high- 
est demonstrations  of  friendship.  On  these  wretched  Indians,  who  absurdly 
trusted  in  the  promises  and  good  fiiith  of  their  white  brethren,  with  whom 
they  had  always  remained  at  peace,  the  Christian  whites  determined  to  re- 
venge all  the  outrages  perpetrated  by  others.  Having  lulled  all  suspicion, 
by  artfully  pacific  overtures  for  several  days.  Colonel  Chivington's  army 
silently  surrounded  the  Indian  camp,  and  a  scene  of  most  horrible  massacre 
commenced.  The  chiefs  ran  forward  with  white  flags,  repeating  in  English, 
We  are  friends ;  we  are  friends  !  but  the  appeiil  Avas  made  in  vain.  No  re- 
sistance was  made,  and  one  hundred  and  seventy  men,  women,  and  children 
were  slain. 

Colonel  Chivirtgton,  good,  pious  clei^yman,  when  appealed  to,  replied,  "  Damn 
any  man  who  sympathizes  icith  Indians  ; "  and  added,  "  /  want  no  prisoners." 
One  Lieutenant  Richmond  distinguished  himself  so  much  tliat  his  name  de- 
serv^es  to  be  damned  to  perpetual  infamy.  Observing  that  three  squaws  and 
five  children  had  been  taken  prisoners,  he  killed  and  scalped  the  whole  of 
them,  while  they  were  screaming  for  mercy. 

The  atrocities  that  werc  perpetrated  upon  tlie  bodies  of  the  slain  would  tax  the 
cleverest  ingenuity  of  devi's  to  invent  its  parallel.  Everj'  one  of  the  dead  was 
scalped,  but  in  this  the  Christian  whites  only  equaled  the  savages.  The 
genitils  of  both  sexes  were  cut  off.  The  skins  of  the  males  were  dried  for 
tobacco-]!Ouches,  and  those  of  the  genitals  of  the  women  were  worn  as  hat- 
bands, and  in  one  instance  as  a  pair  of  mustaches.  Colonel  Chivington 
saw,  without  remonstrance,  these  horrible  deeds  performed  around  him.  To 
the  truth  of  these  statements  we  so  unwillingly  believe,  nearly  one  hun- 
dred witnesses  testified  befoie  a  committee  of  Congress,  and  their  examina- 
tions are  recorded  in  this  volume.

This  is  an  attempt  to  justify  one  of  the  foulest,  most  cruel,  and  cowardly 
massacres  of  an  unoffending  people  that  was  ever  committed.  The  Paxton- 
men  were  a  mob  of  poltroons,  who  preferred  to  murder  unarmed  men  and 
boys  to  risking  their  wortiiless  carcasses  on  the  frontier,  fighting  the  savages 
who  ravaged  their  homesteads  almost  unresisted.

ury, was  the  occasion  of  such  virulent  abuse,  as  we  find  it  difficult  to  com- 
prehend at  this  day.  He  hoped  to  preserve  the  Indian  race  from  utter  de- 
struction by  infusing  it  with  the  blood  of  more  ci^^lized  but  not  less  barbarous 
nations.

Metcalf  and  Company,  1829.  374 

The  author,  bom  at  Plymouth  in  1679,  received  the  impetus  which  impelled 
him  to  the  construction  of  this  work,  from  his  father,  John  Cotton,  who 
aided  Eliot  in  the  translation  of  the  Bible  into  the  same  language.  The  In- 
dian apostle  acknowledged  his  obligation  to  the  elder  Cotton's  knowledge  of 
the  Natick  language.  Beside  the  advantages  of  his  father's  instruction,  the 
author's  frequent  intercourse  with  the  Indians  as  a  civil  officer,  a  neighbor, 
and  an  occasional  missionary  among  them,  afforded  him  ample  opportunities 
of  becoming  familiar  with  the  intricacies  of  their  speech. 

The  MS.  of  the  work,  written  in  1708,  had  remained  unedited  until  the  year 
1829. 

The  Vocabulary  is  very  full,  but  is  only  a  collection  of  arbitrary  phrase  trans-

account  of  the  several  discoveries  of  the  latest  French  and

The  few  evidences  of  the  great  stature  of  the  Patagonians,  which  are  cited 
by  the  witty  Abbe,  are  used  only  as  a  cover  for  him  to  cast  his  shafts  of 
satire  at  the  English  laws,  customs,  and  government.  After  sufficiently 
proving  the  existence  of  gigantic  Patagonians,  he  proceeds  to  describe  a  fan- 
cied code  of  domestic,  social,  and  political  laws,  by  the  exercise  of  which  this 
stature  was  reached  and  preserved.  The  whole  imaginative  scheme  affords 
him  a  medium  for  exhibiting  the  deficiencies  and  absurdities  of  the  practices 
of  the  subjects  of  his  satire.

The  narration  of  the  services  of  the  Moravian  missionaries,  in  the  conversion 
and  civilization  of  the  Aborigines  of  Greenland,  is  not  excelled  in  heroism  and 
self-devotion  by  any  beings  whose  actions  history  records,  except  the  Evan- 
gelists of  the  Society  of  Jesus.  The  rigors  of  an  Arctic  winter,  where  the 
temperature  fa'ls  to  80°  below  zero,  the  hoiTorsof  a  residence  amid  the  unre- 
vealable  tilth  of  an  Esquimaux  hut,  the  constant  dangers  of  starvation,  ship- 
wreck, and  disease,  did  not  deter  them  from  suffering  the  experience  which 
enabled  them  to  record  this  interesting  narrative  of  the  native  habits  of  the 
savages,  as  well  as  the  steps  by  which  so  many  of  them  approached  civiliza- 
tion and  Christianity.

The  life  of  an  officer  during  one  of  the  ordinary  paroxysms  of  Indian  war 
is  not  generally  fertile  in  incidents,  but  what  with  skirmishes  with  the  war- 
like Camanches,  and  hunts  for  the  assassin  Apaches,  the  service  of  Major 
Cremony  was  tolerably  adventurous.  The  Apache,  the  Tliug  of  American 
Aborigines,  was  more  closely  approached  and  studied  by  him  during  hia 
twenty  years  of  border  life,  than  by  any  other  writer.

Many  of  the  plates  are  portraits  of  Indian  chiefs  and  plans  of  ancient  fortifi-

The  author  was  a  gentleman  of  Normandy  who  passed  twenty-four  years  of 
his  life  in  North  America.  He  is  styled  in  several  works  one  of  the  first 
victims  of  the  war  of  Independence,  but  this  suffering  must  be  understood 
as  affecting  his  property  rather  than  his  person.  His  work  contains  some 
curious  details  on  the  state  of  the  aborigines,  before  the  arrival  of  Europeaug 
in  that  part  of  North  America  which  he  visited.  It  is  announced  on  the 
title-page  as  a  simple  translation,  but  it  is  well  known  to  be  the  work  orig- 
inally of  John  Crevecceur,  and  is  to  be  regarded  probably  as  a  continuation 
of  his  Letters  of  an  American  farmer  [Letters  dun  Cultivateur  Americain).

of  the  order,  without  vows  or  obligations  of  any  sort,  they  are  more  strict 
in  secreting  their  authorship,  than  the  most  severe  in  self-denial  of  other 
orders;  accordingly  their  works  are  almost  without  exception  published 
anonymously.

[Philological  Studies  of  some  languages  of  the  savages  of  America,  by  N.  O. 
(formerly)  missionary.] 

The  author  has  given  unimpeachable  evidence  in  his  work,  of  that  familiarity 
with  his  subject,  which  must  precede  ability  to  write  a  valuable  treatise  upon 
it.  He  has  in  its  pages  analyzed  the  Iroquois  and  Algonquin  languages, 
compared,  and  treated  them  grammatically  so  as  to  affbrd  a  very  clear  and 
extensive  comprehension  of  their  structure  to  the  student.    He  is  equally

severe  upon  Mr.  Schoolcraft  and  Mr.  Renan  and  curiously  enough,  in  pun- 
ishment of  the  same  crime  in  each  —  audacious  ignorance.  The  erudite  and 
ingenious  Renan,  and  the  industrious  but  illiterate  Schoolcraft,  both  suffer 
impalement,  the  one  for  constructing  a  hypothesis  upon  the  structure  of  the 
Aboriginal  tongues,  and  the  other  for  scheming  a  similar  edifice  upon  that 
of  the  Greek  — while  neither  author  knew  a  word  of  the  languages  on  which 
he  built  his  fabric.  Mr.  Schoolcraft  determines  to  find  a  modern  origin  for 
the  Iroquois  word  Haw-en-ni-i-o,  "  True  God  "  and  therefore  says  it  is  com- 
posed of  Niio,  corrupted  from  the  French  Dieu,  and  the  Greek  Deo,  and  the 
native  prefix  Haweu.  Mr.  Renan  is  equally  unhappy  in  finding  a  good 
basis  for  some  of  his  realistic  dogmas  in  the  assumed  want  of  systematic 
structure  of  the  American  Aboriginal  languages.  Mr.  Cuoq  exhibits  a 
regularity  in  grammatical  arrangement  that  rivals  the  Latin,  in  the  system 
and  extent  of  the  Iroquois  and  Algonquin,  in  which  qualities  indeed  they 
are  only  excelled  in  his  opinion  by  the  monarch  of  languages. 

The  excellent  author,  who  modestly  conceals  himself  under  the  enigmatical 
letters  N.  0.,  is  known  to  be  the  Rev.  Father  Cuoq,  who  for  twenty  years  was 
in  charge  of  the  mission  at  the  Lake  of  Two  Mountains,  an  Indian  village  in 
Canada.  Here  for  many  years  have  resided  a  portion  of  two  tribes  repre- 
senting the  Iroquois  and  Algonquin  races  ;  the  latter  a  branch  of  the  great 
Chippewa  nation  called  the  Sauteaux.  Here  for  nearly  a  century  have  the 
children  of  these  two  aboriginal  races  been  in  contact  without  blending,  or 
even  associating  with  that  degree  of  familiarity  which  each  exhibits  for  the 
more  distant  white  race. 

Half  a  century  ago  McLean  found  them  the  same.  The  Catholic  church  and 
seminary  divide  the  village  into  nearly  two  equal  parts,  and  the  natives  of 
each  nation  seldom  pass  their  respective  limits  into  the  territory  of  the  other. 
With  few  exceptions  they  cannot  converse  together,  as  the  languages  are  so 
radically  different  as  to  be  mutually  perfectly  unintelligible.  Even  within 
the  sacred  walls  of  the  church  of  their  common  religion  they  do  not  meet ;  as 
Father  Cuoq  conducts  the  services  of  the  Catholic  faith  alternately,  morning 
and  evening  in  their  respective  languages.  Situated  in  these  most  fortuitous 
circumstances  for  obtaining  a  perfect  comprehension  of  the  radical  differences 
of  their  formation,  there  has  probably  never  existed  any  person  better  fitted 
to  write  the  treatise  he  has  presented  us.  The  structure  of  these  two  repre- 
sentative tongues  is  complete,  each  in  its  own  form,  and  yet  nowhere  touch- 
ing, nowhere  in  common,  either  in  enunciation,  grammatical  basis,  radi- 
cals or  derivatives.  Were  the  natives  of  one  nation  emigrants  from  China, 
and  the  other  from  Wales,  there  would  be  equal  points  of  similarity.

Almost  the  wliole  value  which  attaches  to  this  scarce  book,  is  comprised  in 
the  narrative  of  the  captivity  of  Le  Rave.  His  Journal  of  personal  ex- 
perience among  the  fierce  Sioux  has  much  more  than  the  usual  modicum  of 
real  merit,  to  which  such  relations  are  entitled,  as  it  is  tlie  result  of  the  ob-

telligence. Le  Haye's  Journal  was  never  published  in  any  other  form  than

to  conceal ;  they  were  not  designed  as  a  proclamation  of  their  success,  and 
therefore  we  may  regard  them  as  veracious.

treatment  of  Rochefort,  for  the  work  of  the  latter  was  fictitious  in  every  part

Beside  the  narrations  of  Cabe^a  de  Vaca,  Niza,  and  other  printed  accounts

his  official  position,  soon  after  the  conquest  of  the  country  by  the  United 
States,  placed  in  his  custody.  His  narrative  of  the  prolonged  hostilities  be-

and  peculiar  ceremonies  of  the  latter,  is  fresh,  vigorous,  and  highly  interesting.

all  commend  the  narrative  to  our  judgment,  and  attract  our  interest  in  its 
progress.

If  there  ever  existed  a  tribe  of  savages  who  were  recognized  by  such  a  title, 
it  was  sufficient  warrant  for  their  extermination  ;  and  judged  by  this  rule 
the  author  himself  had  but  little  advantage.  He  terminates  his  narrative 
by  marriage  with  a  maiden  of  Spencer  in  New  Hampshire,  where  he  fixed 
his  habitation  in  1794.  Whether  the  author  was  ever  a  captive  to  any  sav- 
age tribe  is  somewhat  uncertain  ;  his  narrative  is  at  all  events  little  better 
than  a  fiction.     It  is  one  of  the  rarest  of  books  relating  to  the  aborigines.

tion."] 

Vol.  I.  and  pp.  366  of  Vol.  II.  are  occupied  with  the  Philosophical  Researches 
of  M.  De  Pauw.  Dom  Pernetty  wrote  an  able  controversial  reply,  which  is 
printed  at  the  end  of  the  Researches  in  Vol.  II.  with  the  title  "Dissertation 
sur  r  Ameriqiie  et  les  Americaines,  contre  les  Rccherches  Philosophiques 

de  M.  De  P ,  par  Dom  Pernetty."     [Dissertation  on  America  and  the 

Americans,  against  the  Philosophical  Researches  of  Mr.  De  Pauw.)  pp.  1  to 
133.  V61.  III.  is  entirely  devoted  to  the  rejoinder  of  M.  De  Pauw.  A  fourth 
volume  of  this  controversy,  written  by  Dom  Pernetty,  was  subsequently 
printed  (1771),  entitled,  "  Ex  amen  des  Recherches  Philosophiques  sur 
TAmerique  et  les  Americains  et  de  la  defense  de  cet  ouvrage,  par  Dom  Per- 
netty." [Examination  of  the  Researches  Philosophic  on  America  and  the 
Americans,  and  of  the  Defense  of  that  work,  by  Dom  Pernetty.]  "  This 
rejoinder,"  savs  Mr.  Rich,  "  of  Dom  Pernetty,  inwhich  he  exposes  the  blun- 
ders and  unfair  conduct  of  De  Pauw,  is  much  more  ably  written  than  his  first 
work."  A  fifth  work  upon  the  same  subject  appeared  in  1771,  of  which  Mr. 
Rich  has  this  note  :  — 

"  A  lively  and  humorous  defense  of  the  American  Indians,  attributed  by  Mon- 
sel  to  M.  Poivre ;  but  Barbier  says  that  it  is  either  M.  Bonneville  or  Dom 
Pernetty.  Now  Poivre  was  never  in  America,  and  Bonneville  was  only 
eleven  years  of  age  at  this  time.  As  it  is  not  probable  that  Dom  Pernetty 
wrote  two  works  on  the  same  subject  in  the  same  year,  all  these  conjectures 
as  to  the  authorship  are  probably  erroneous."  Mr.  Sabin  attributes  it  to 
Bonneville. 

In  volumes  one  and  two  De  Pauw  labors  to  prove  the  infei'ior  scale  upon 
which  nature  has  organized  men,  animals,  and  vegetation  in  America.  The 
chai-acter  of  the  American  Aborigines  receives  the  principal  force  of  his  at- 
tack. Dora  Pernetty,  with  forcible  arguments,  defended  them  in  his  "  Dis- 
sertation." To  this  De  Pauw  r^oined  in  his  "  Defense,"  which  was  again 
answered  by  Dom  Pernetty  in  his  "Examen."

Beside  his  account  of  the  slaughter,  and  destruction,  by  various  modes,  of  the 
Indians  during  the  conquest  of  their  nations,  the  author  gives,  in  chapter  iv. 
pp.  183  to  248,  a  "  Portrait  of  the  Indians  before  the  arrival  of  the  Europeans, 
—  means  employed  to  civilize  them."  This  relation  is  drawn  from  docu-

observation.  On  pp.  342  to  362  is  a  description  of  the  locality  and  effect  of 
the  missions  among  the  natives,  and  pp.  369  to  384  are  devoted  to  expul-

roneously accredited  with  being  the  first  book  printed  in  that  city.  It  is, 
consequently,  one  of  the  most  costly,  as  it  is  certainly  one  of  the  rarest  gems 
of  the  book  collector.  A  perfect  copy  would  be  eagerly  seized  by  half  a  score 
of  this  class  at  any  price,  less  than  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars.  An  im- 
perfect copy  brought  eighty-five  dollars  at  Fisher's  sale.  The  second  edition 
IS  almost  equally  rare,  at  least  I  have  never  seen,  or  indeed  known  of  a  copy. 
Copies  of  the  third  edition,  although  not  by  any  means  so  rare  as  the  others,

DoBRizHOEFFER  (Martin). 

An  Account  of  The  Abipones,  an  Equestrian  People  of  Para-

a  Missionary  in  that  Country.  In  three  volumes.  Vol,  I.  pp.

This  work  is  a  translation  of  the  preceding,  made  by  the  daughter  of  Robert 
Southey,  the  poet. 

Martin  DobrizhoefFer,  born  in  1717,  was  one  of  those  extraordinary  men,  who 
organized  in  Paraguay  a  government  that  has  not  ceased  to  excite  the  won- 
der and  perplex  the  reason  of  all  who  tried  to  comprehend  its  strange  anom- 
alies. For  a  century  and  a  half  it  existed  as  a  pure  hierarchy,  insulated  and 
intact ;  more  mysterious  than  the  fabled  Amazonian  Republic,  or  the  equally 
mythical  El  Dorado.  For  a  half  century  succeeding  it  has  remained  the 
only  example  of  a  people,  professing  to  be  free,  existing  under  a  tyranny 
supported  solely  by  themselves. 

Not  the  least  of  the  wonders  of  that  land  of  mysteries  is  it,  to  see  occasionally 
emerge  from  its  obscurity  a  mind  of  extraordinary  ability  in  government, 
power  of  reasoning,  or  breadth  of  scholarship.  .  The  author  of  these  volumes 
was  a  man  of  learning,  who  ia  1736  entered  the  order  of  Jesuits,  and  in  1749, 
in  obedience  to  the  commands  of  his  general,  commenced  the  appalling  labor 
of  attempting  the  civilization  and  christianizing  of  one  of  the  fiercest  and 
most  superstitious,  of  all  the  savage  tribes  of  American  Indians.  His  mis- 
sion among  them  lasted  through  eighteen  years  of  living  martyrdom  ;  which 
he  survived  to  write  and  publish  this  work  in  the  Latin  ton<i;ue.  It  is  the 
most  complete,  faithful,  and  interesting  detail  of  the  life,  habits,  and  char- 
acter of  a  savage  tribe  which  was  ever  written.  Southey,  when  praising  the 
work,  only  speaks  the  language  of  every  scholar  or  writer  who  has  perused 
it.  In  chapters  xvi.  and  xvii.  of  Vol.  II.,  pp.  159  to  206,  he  treats  of  the 
language  of  the  Abipones,  with  a  grammatical  analysis  of  the  language,  and 
in  chapter  xviii.  is  found  a  translation  of  the  Symbol  of  the  Cross  into  five 
Indian  dialects.

Doddridge's  work  was  drawn  from  original  sources,  mostly  of  personal  obser- 
vation, or  from  the  actors  in  the  Border  Wars  he  depicts.  No  one  except 
Withers  has  approached  him  in  fidelity  or  exactness,  and  both  have  the  best 
attestation  to  the  value  of  their  works,  in  the  frequent  reproduction  of  them 
in  Collections  and  Narratives  of  Border  Warfare  without  acknowledgment 
of  the  sources  from  which  all  that  is  valuable  has  been  taken.  Some  of  these 
pirated  reprints  are  as  scarce  as  the  originals,  of  which  retributive  rarity 
Kercheval's  Valley  of  Virginia,  and  Bicklej-'s  History  of  Indian  Wars  of  Taze-

In  this  dissertation  the  author  controverts  the  sentiment  of  Mr.  de  Pauw,  that 
America  occupies  an  inferior  position  in  the  scale  of  Nature,  to  other  parts 
of  the  world ;  and  that  the  degradation  of  the  American  Indians,  as  well  as 
the  inferior  size,  ferocity,  and  utility  of  its  animals,  proves  it     Monsieur  de

Pauw  replied  in  his  work,  entitled  Defense  de  I'  Auteur  des  Recherches.  Dom 
Pernetty  rejoined  in  his  second  work,  entitled  Examen  des  Recherches  Philo- 
sophiques. 

Another  attack  on  De  Pauw's  assumptions,  entitled  Examen  des  Recherches, 
a  defense  of  the  American  Indians,  was  printed  in  1771,  which  closed  a  con- 
troversy on  the  part  of  these  writers  that  had  been  much  more  ably  con- 
ducted, more  than  a  century  previous,  by  Grotius,  Hornius,  and  De  Laet.

The  First  Section  is  entitled  "  Notice  of  the  Ancient  American  Manuscripts, 
and  of  The  Book  of  the  Savages."  This  unhappy  work  afforded  a  sensation 
to  the  literary  world  of  Europe,  not  less  unusual  than  universal.  From 
every  study,  library,  and  bookseller's  rooms  arose  a  shout  of  laughter,  that 
the  soul  of  Rebelais  might  have  envied.  No  Frenchman,  since  that  ribald 
wit  left  the  earth,  has  excited  such  a  chorus  of  unextinguishablecachinnation. 
Unfortunately  for  the  Abbe  Domenech  the  parallel  between  himself  and  Ka- 
belais  soon  ceases,  the  world  laughs  not  with  him  but  at  him.  He  has  been 
the  victim  of  an  imposture  so  rank,  that  we  should  wonder  not  less  than  we 
admire  his  self  delusion,  if  he  had  not  dragged  so  many  considerable  people 
into  the  same  net. 

His  MS.  work  received  the  sanction  of  the  Emperor  himself,  so  far  as  to 
direct  the  Minister  of  State  to  furnish  the  means  of  its  publication.  In  his 
Dedication  to  M.  Lacroix,  he  says  :  "  You  will  recall  among  the  men  of  all 
nations  who  thronged  your  drawing-rooms,  a  pale  sad  young  man  recently 
returned  from  the  solitudes  of  the  New  World.  Poor  child,  among  your 
exotics,"  etc.,  etc.  This  poor  child  was  informed  by  M.  Lacroix  that  his  des- 
tiny was  literary  eminence,  and  advised  to  set  out  on  the  road  at  once. 
Looking  about  for  some  subject  to  employ  the  talent  so  recently  discovered, 
his  ill  fortune  led  him  to  the  Arsenal  Library  purchased  from  the  Marquis 
de  Paulmy,  where  he  encountered  a  MS.  of  114  leaves,  entitled  Livre  des 
Sauvages.  It  would  seem  impossible,  on  the  merest  glance  at  the  sprawling 
pictures,  that  any  person  in  this  matter-of-fact  world  could  have  arrived  at 
any  other  conclusion  regarding  the  MS.  than  that  it  was  a  child's  drawing- 
book.  But  the  eyes  of  a  pale  enthusiast  looking  for  his  destiny,  can  see  the' 
history  of  a  thousand  years  in  the  track  of  an  ink-bedraggled  fly.  There  is 
a  persistence  in  self-delusion  that  carries  the  dupe  on  to  his  destruction. 
Besides,  a  French  savant  is  ready  to  believe  in  anything  except  liis  God. 
Accordingly  the  Abbe  Domenech  wrote  a  treatise  on  the  MS.,  which  he  de- 
clared to  be  the  work  of  some  Indian  chief  of  Canada.  He  said  that  Bot- 
turini,  Torquemadi,  Tschudi,  and  Kingsborough  had  done  much  to  illustrate 
Aztec  and  Inca  MSS.,  but  hitherto  nothing  had  been  found  to  enlighten  the 
darkness  of  the  story  of  the  Northern  Indians.    It  was  reserved  for  his  for-

tnne  to  draw  aside  the  veil.  Indeed,  he  was  obliged  to  hasten,  as  he  learned 
to  his  dismay  that  a  copy  had  been  made  by  an  American  savant,  with  the 
view  to  its  publication  by  the  United  States  Government.  The  glory  of  France, 
he  declared  to  the  P^mjKu-or's  confidant,  was  involved  in  this  attempt  to  snatch 
fi"om  her  the  fame  of  bringing  to  light  so  precious  a  document  illustrative  of 
her  former  renown  in  New  France.  Sufficient  however  is  it  for  our  mirth  that 
the  work  was  published  only  to  discover  that  the  MS.  was  either  the  work 
of  some  mischief-loving  inventor,  or  of  a  sick  child  whiling  away  the  hours 
of  illness.  Since  then  the  Emperor,  the  Emperor's  household,  and  Abbe 
Domcnech  have  been  industriously  employed  in  destroying  all  the  copies 
they  can  procure,  consequently  they  are  exceedingly  rare.

Little  is  to  be  said  regarding  this  narrative,  except  that  it  is  written  by  the 
author  of  Livre  des  bauvages.  But  a  very  small  portion  of  it  relates  to  the 
Aborigines.

Whatever  the  length  of  time  actually  spent  in  the  region  which  he  professes 
to  have  ti'aversed,  the  Abbe  Domenech's  heavy  volumes  contain  but  little 
more  than  a  resume  of  the  Pacific  Railroad  Keports,  with  a  reproduction 
of  many  of  the  plates  published  in  them.  He  has  also  industriously  gleaned 
from  every  source  he  found  available,  and  compiled  a  mass  of  material  not 
without  value  and  merit.  Beside  the  pictures  of  scenery  obtained  from  vari- 
ous sources,  the  Abbe  gives  many  representatives  of  Indian  antiquities, 
utensils,  and  weapons.  A  category  of  the  Indian  Tribes  of  North  America, 
and  some  short  vocabularies  of  some  of  their  languages,  form  perhaps  the 
most  valuable  portion  of  these  volumes.  The  entire  absence  of  narrative 
of  personal  observations,  effectually  belies  the  suggestions  of  the  title  of  a 
residence  of  seven  years  in  the'  countries  he  depicts.

The  shout  of  laughter  with  which  Europe  resounded,  at  the  expense  of  the 
Emperor  Napoleon  and  his  protege,  the  Abbe  Domenech,  on  the  appearance 
of  his  book  Le  Litre  des  Sauvages,  had  scarcely  subsided  when  the  Abbe 
issued  this  pamphlet  as  a  defense  of  his  unfortunate  book.  He  founds  his 
claim  for  its  authenticity  upon  the  resemblance  between  the  schoolboy's 
drawings  which  had  deluded  him,  and  some  inscriptions  found  on  the  rocks 
in  New  Mexico  and  Sonora,  both  of  which  he  illustrates  in  the  plates  at  the 
end  of  the  work.

[The  American  Native  of  South  America,  considered  under  his  physiological 
and  moral  affinities.     By  Alcide  D'Orbigny.] 

Monsieur  D'Orbigny  brought  to  the  task  of  examining  and  classifying  the 
Aborigines  of  South  America,  a  zeal,  intelligence,  and  learning  which  litted 
him  admirably  for  the  important  labor  he  assumed.  The  pcculiaiities  of  the 
various  races  of  South  America  had  been  noted  with  more  or  less  discrimi- 
nation by  many  writers,  but  their  ethnological  distinctions,  the  territorial 
boundaries  of  the  great  nations,  the  classification  of  their  languages,  and 
the  grouping  of  the  almost  innumerable  tribes  into  their  partnt  nations,  had 
never  been  treated  by  a  man  of  science.  The  author  examined  personally 
both  the  natives  and  their  locale,  and  accomplished  as  much  as  one  man  can 
do  of  the  labor  which  will  require  the  toil  and  thought  of  many  to  perfect.

[Collection  of  Documents  relating  to  the  Negotiation  between  New  France  and 
New  England  in  the  year  1648,  and  subsequently]. 

This  collection  of  documents  consist  of  (1.)  "The  Narrative  of  the 
Voyage  of  Father  Dreuillettes,  made  for  the  mission  of  the  Abnaquis  In- 
dians, to  induce  the  Magistrates  of  the  Republique  of  New  England  to  aid 
them  against  the  Iroquois,  "  pp.  5  to  24.  (2.)  "  Reflections  on  the  hope 
given  the  Abnaquis."  (3.)  "  Letter  of  Father  G.  Dreuillettes  to  John  Win- 
throp," in  Latin.  The  same,  translated  into  French.  (4.)  Extracts  from 
the  Journal  of  Father  Lalemant,  and  the  Letter  written  by  the  Council  at 

Quebec  to  the  New  England  authorities. 

These  documents  narrate  the  story  of  that  extraordinary  negotiation  between 
the  authorities  of  Canada  and  the  Christian  Abnaquis,  on  the  one  part,  and 
the  colonies  of  Boston  and  Plymouth  on  the  other.  In  September,  1651, 
Father  Dreuillettes  set  out  on  his  long  and  perilous  mission  through  the  wild 
forests  intervening  between  Quebec  and  Boston,  where  he  arrived  on  the  eighth 
of  September.  The  object  of  his  mission  was  to  induce  the  New  England 
colonies  to  unite  in  a  league  with  the  Christian  Abnaquis  residing  on  the 
Kennebec  against  the  terrible  Iroquois.  The  minutes  of  this  embassy  were 
for  a  long  period  lost,  which  Father  Charlevoix  greatly  lamented,  and  much 
desired  to  peruse.  It  was  the  good  fortune  of  Mr.  Shea  to  recover  them, 
as  it  is  ours  that  he  possessed  the  generous  enthusiasm  of  a  historian  in  com- 
municating them.  They  inform  us  that  Father  Dreuillettes  was  received  with 
Christian  kindness  by  the  Puritans,  and  that  Winthrop,  Endicott,  Winslow, 
and  Bradford  warmly  approved  his  design.  Four  tribes  of  the  New  Eng- 
land Indians  and  a  powerful  Southern  nation  agreed  to  the  Confederation, 
and  Father  Dreuillettes  departed,  with  a  firm  conviction  that  his  mission  had 
succeeded.  Had  the  Puritans  carried  out  the  terms  of  this  treaty,  it  is  more 
than  probable,  that  New  England  would  have  escaped  the  bloody  massacres 
inflicted  upon  her  citizens  during  a  century,  by  the  Northern  Indians.

[Historic  Memoirs  of  Louisiana  ;  Containing  an  account  of  that  which  passed 
the  most  memorable,  from  the  year  1687  to  the  present;  with  the  establish- 
ment of  the  French  Colony  in  this  Province  of  North  America  under  the

habit it ;  their  manners  and  their  customs,  etc.  Composed  from  the  Memoirs 
of  M.  Dumont  by  M.  L.  L.  M.] 

The  author  has  in  pp.  117  to  338,  Vol.  I.,  treated  minutely  the  subject  of  the 
customs  and  ceremonies  of  the  aborigines  of  the  province,  and  almost  the 
whole  of  Vol.  II.  is  devoted  to  the  history  of  the  wars  of  the  French  with  the 
various  tribes  which  inhabited  the  vast  territory  then  known  as  Louisiana. 
The  editor  of  Dumont's  Memoirs  has  told  the  story  of  the  events  of  this  bor- 
der warfare  in  a  style  at  once  concise  and  interesting,  but  with  few  of  the  de- 
tails and  minute  particulars  which  we  so  much  desire  at  this  period. 

The  work  is  embellished  with  maps  and  plates.  It  is  found  in  some  Cata- 
logues under  Butel-Dumont.  Mr.  French  translated  the  Historical  Nar- 
rative, and  printed  it  in  Volume  V.  of  the  Louisiana  Historical  Cdlec- 
iions.

The  Tshimshean  Indians  occupy  a  district  on  the  Pacific  coast  lying  between 
Fraser  and  Simpson  rivers,  north  of  Queen  Charlotte's  Sound.  They  arc 
divided  into  ten  tribes,  speaking  the  same  dialect,  each  governed  by  three  or 
four  chiefs.  The  elevation  of  rank  to  which  each  is  entitled  is  indicated  by 
the  height  of  a  pole  erected  in  front  of  his  wigwam.  So  imperial  is  the  dig- 
nity to  which  some  eminent  savages  attain,  that  it  can  only  be  shown  by  a 
pole  one  hundred  feet  in  height.  Sanguinary  fights  are  caused  by  the  erec- 
tion of  too  high  a  pole,  and  a  beaten  chief  is  literally  obliged  to  cut  his  stick. 
Mr.  Duncan  spent  ten  years  in  his  efforts  to  Christianize  the  members  of  this 
confederacy  of  savage  tribes.  The  work  is  a  relation  of  his  labors  and  their 
results  drawn  up  from  his  letters  and  reports,  by  some  friend  in  England, 
principally  in  the  language  of  their  writer.  In  addition  to  the  difficulties 
and  dangers  of  a  missionary's  labors  among  a  savage  people,  he  had  to  con- 
tend with  the  most  besotted  stupidity,  and  mulish  obstinacy  and  apathy, 
which  ever  characterized  a  race.  One  of  the  pleasing  pastimes  of  the  chiefs 
was  to  nourish  a  design,  for  three  or  four  days,  of  killino^  sgme  person,  with- 
out any  animosity  against  him  or  her  except  pure  appetite  for  bloodshed,  of 
which  every  Indian  was  aware  except  the  doomed  wretch  himself.

Two  college  youths  (both  authors  being  less  than  twenty  years  of  age),  having 
written  a  poem  with  Indian  characters,  proceeded  to  examine  history  a  little 
for  notes  to  illustrate  it.  They  found,  as  the  surviving  editor  frankly  says, 
that  history  and  their  poem  were  quite  divergent.  They  could  not  correct 
the  poem  without  destroying  its  whole  scheme,  so  they  printed  eight  pages 
of  historical  notes  at  the  end  as  a  correctiye.

The  author  of  this  Relation  was  a  Quaker  residing  in  Ipswich  and  Hampton, 
who  was  driven,  by  the  intolerance  of  the  Puritans,  to  Rhode  Isla.nd  in  1638. 
He  suffered  in  person  from  the  incursions  of  the  Indians,  who  burned  his 
house  at  Newport  the  next  year.  Easton  is  the  only  early  writer  upoi;  the 
wars  of  the  New  Englanders  with  the  Indians  who  ventures  to  doubt  that 
the  Almighty  was  on  the  side  of  the  slaughtering  Puritans  ;  and  Satan  him- 
self commanding  the  savages.  He  seems  anxious  to  give  an  impartial  and 
just  relation  of  the  war  and  its  causes  ;  but,  like  all  the  members  of  his  sect, 
could  not  resist  the  sympathy  which  that  sense  of  justice  aroused.  He 
shows  clearly  that  the  greed  and  cupidity  of  the  stem  Puritans,  were  as  po- 
tent causes  of  an  unnecessary  and  cruel  war  upon  the  wronged  owners  of 
the  soil,  as  they  are  to-day  in  our  age  of  Indian  agents  and  speculators.

The  first  English  translation  of  a  portion  of  Peter  Martyr's  work,  containing 
the  first  three  Decades.  To  Richarde  Eden  Mr.  Rich  devotes  a  pajre  of  elo- 
quent praise,  and  quotes  the  plowin.uj  passage  in  his  preface  in  which  he 
recites  the  motive  which  prompted  the  work.  These  Decades,  first  printed 
in  Latin  in  1516,  contain  probably  the  first  systematic  and  critical  narra- 
tion of  the  peculiarities  of  religion  and  customs  of  the  American  Indians. 
Both  this  and  the  subsequent  edition  of  1577  are  considered  among  the

at  which  copies  have  been  offered  vary  from  .£1.5  to  .£21.  Altiiouiih  valued 
principally  for  that  portion  translated  from  Peter  Martyr,  the  work  is  usually 
accredited  to  and  catalogued  under  Eden,  as  he  was  the  author,  or  at  least  the 
editor,  of  much  the  larger  portion  of  it.  Subsequent  editions  of  the  eight 
decades  are  noticed  under  the  name  of  Peter  Martyr.

Fourth  Decade  of  Peter  Martyr's  work,  but  without  the  division  into  hooks 
which  I'Men  presen'ed.  This  additional  portion  is  almost  wholly  descriptive 
of  the  pecnliarities  of  the  aborigines,  and  terminates  with  folio  173.  A  com- 
pilation from  Oviedo  and  other  writers  occupies  folios  183  to  236.  The  re- 
mainder of  the  work,  like  the  edition  of  1555,  contains  nothing  relating  to

116  Indian  Bibliography, 

ety.  By  Jonathan  Edwards,  D.  D.  New  Haven,  printed  hy 
Josiah  Meiggs,  1787.    8°  pp.  15.    Reprinted  London,  1788.     487 

The  very  able  author  of  this  treatise  was  not  the  first  to  analyze  the  Aborig 
inal  language  of  New  England,  and  reduce  it  to  rules,  yet  his  brief  work  is 
remarkable  for  suggesting  the  radical  basis  of  the  Muhhekanew  dialect, 
and  exhibiting  its  structural  difference  from  the  Mohawk.  He  was  however 
the  first  to  show  the  aflSnity  of  all  the  Algonquin  dialects,  and  trace  the  basal 
relationship  of  all  the  Eastern  tongues  with  those  of  the  Long  Island,  Del- 
aware, Shawnese  and  Chippeway  Indians.  He  was  eminently  fitted  for  this 
service  to  ethnology  from  his  peculiar  fortune  in  being  associated  with  all 
these  tribes.  Commencing  a  familiar  acquaintance  with  the  Mohegans  at 
Stockbridge,  when  only  six  years  of  age,  and  at  a  period  when  the  town 
contained  but  twelve  families  of  European  lineage  to  one  hundred  and 
fifty  of  Indian  birth,  his  youth  was  spent  with  the  native  boys  for  school- 
mates and  playfellows.  Out  of  his  father's  house  he  seldom  heard  the 
enunciation  of  any  language  but  that  spoken  by  Indian  tongues.  To  him, 
therefore,  the  Mohegan  language  became  his  vernacular.  In  his  tenth  year 
he  was  sent  among  the  Six  Nations  to  learn  their  language,  and  thus,  al- 
though resident  with  them  for  less  than  a  year,  became  fitted  for  his  work 
of  comparison  of  the  two  radically  different  tongues.  The  obvious  difference 
between  the  guttural,  harsh,  and  by  civilized  organs  almost  unpronounceable 
language  of  the  Six  Nations,  and  the  liquid  flowing  tongue  of  the  Mohegan 
and  New  England  tribes,  could  not  but  elicit  his  attention  and  curiosity  in 
after  life  to  analyze  the  causes  of  this  diversity.  The  following  are  the  prin- 
cipal characteristics  of  these  tongues  he  notices;  No  word  of  the  Iroquois 
corresponds  to  any  of  the  Algonquin.  The  Algonquin  has  no  gender,  no 
infinitive  mood,  or  abstract  verb.  The  action  always  is  associated  in  ex- 
pression with  the  noun,  no  relative  pronouns,  no  abstract  adjective,  as  quality 
18  always  expressed  by  varying  the  noun,  a  different  noun  being  used  to  ex- 
press differing  qualities  of  the  same  thing.  Thus,  there  are  no  abstract 
terms  for  things  commonly  expressed  with  relation  to  other  nouns.  The 
Iroquois  dialects  have  few  if  any  labials,  the  Algonquin  abounds  in  them. 
It  is  impossible  to  express  a  simple  action  in  either  tongue  as,  John  strikes. 
The  action  must  always  be  connected  with  its  nominative,  and  if  transitive,  in 
connection  with  both  nominative  and  objective,  and  even  then  by  the  cir- 
cumlocutory phrase  "John  he  strikes  him  Peter."  All  these  curious  philo- 
logical traits  are  very  clearly  analyzed  in  this  treatise.

Chapters  vii.  to  xx.,  pp.  100  to  225,  are  devoted  to  descriptions  of  the  occu- 
pations, implements,  habitations,  persons,  customs,  habits,  mourning,  pas- 
times, etc.,  of  the  natives  of  Greenland. 

In  chapter  xv.  is  given  a  specimen  of  one  of  their  songs  in  the  Esquimaux 
language  with  the  parallel  passages  in  English,  occupying  four  pages.  Chap- 
ter xvi.  treats  of  the  principles  of  that  tongue  with  a  vocabulary  and  gram- 
matical analysis  of  twelve  pages.  Although  the  quaint  relation  of  the  Danish 
missionary  Egede  affords  us  little  information  regarding  the  natives  of  Green- 
land which  has  not  often  been  printed,  yet  his  narratives  of  incidents  among 
them,  and  descriptions  of  their  characteristics  at  that  early  day  (1721),  are 
valuable  as  historical  records.

The  subject  of  this  narrative  was  the  granddaughter  of  a  Narragansct  Indian 
squaw  and  an  African  chief,  and  is  interesting  ethnologically,  as  portraying 
the  characteristics  of  two  aboriginal  races  blended.

This  is  the  fourth  of  that  series  of  reports  of  the  "  Corporation  for  Propagat- 
ing the  Gospel  among  the  Indians  of  New  England,"  which  began  in  1643, 
and  continued  at  irregular  intervals  to  1671.  The  complete  series  consists 
of  eleven,  and  is  probably,  next  to  the  Jesuit  Relations,  the  most  difficult  to 
reassemble  in  good  copies,  of  any  works  relating  to  American  History.  Some 
of  these  Protestant  relations  of  missions  among  the  Indians,  bring  almost 
fabulous  prices.  One  hundred  and  seventy  dollars  has  been  paid  for  that  of 
1659  (No.  9),  and  one  hundred  dollars  was  paid  both  by  Mr.  Menzics  and 
myself  for  that  of  1671.  They  are  doubtless  all  written  by  the  hand,  or 
from  material  furnished  by  the  writings  of  John  Eliot.  No  series  of  works 
relating  to  American  history  are  more  sought  for ;  and  the  collector  who 
possesses  a  large  part  of  either  the  Catholic  or  Protestant  Relations  of  Mis- 
sions, while  he  has  something  to  boast  of,  has  still  a  long  period  of  ex- 
pectancy to  keep  alive  his  interest,  before  he  will  complete  either  one  of 
them.

The  collation  of  this  memorable  work  of  the  Apostle  Eliot  is  rendered  much 
more  difficult  by  the  entire  absence  of  pagination ;  and  the  variations  made 
apparently  by  the  translator  himself.  A  few  copies,  said  by  Thomas  to , 
have  been  not  more  than  twenty,  were  sent  to  England,  with  a  dedication  to 
King  Charles  of  two  leaves.  Others  have  an  English  title,  in  place  of  the 
Indian,  and  a  few  have  both.  A  perfect  copy  may  be  deemed  to  consist 
of  the  following  named  contents:  Title  1  leaf-f-  Contents  1  leaf -f- Text  A

for  the  complete  work. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  New  Testament  was  printed  two  years  previous  to 
the  other  portion  of  the  Scriptures.  Not  the  least  of  the  many  features  of 
interest  which  concentrate  in  this  volume,  are  the  statements  of  undoubted 
authoi"ities,  that  Eliot  was  engaged  for  ten  years  in  its  translation  ;  that  it  was 
the  first  Bible  printed  in  America ;  that  a  large  portion  of  the  composition 
in  the  printing  of  the  second  edition  at  least,  was  performed  by  Indiail 
James ;  and  that  the  work  was  three  years  in  passing  through  the  press. 
But  it  exists  for  us  like  some  vast  monolith  erected  by  a  race  which  has 
passed  away.  Every  individual  who  could  speak,  or  understand  the  divine 
words  uttered  in  that  tongue,  perished  a  century  ago.  It  remained  for  a 
scholar  of  our  generation,  Mr.  J.  Hammond  Trumbull,  to  revive  this  extinct

language,  and  he  has  found  in  its  stud^  something  more  than  the  mere  grati- 
fication of  literary  curiosity.  The  edition  of  fifteen  hundred  copies  recom- 
mended to  be  printed  by  the  Corporation,  was  exhausted  in  tAventy  years. 
Even  the  "  two  hundred  copies  of  the  New  Testament,  strongly  bound  in 
leather  for  the  immediate  use  of  the  Indians,"  were  probably  worn  out.  Ac- 
cordingly in  1680  another  edition  of  two  thousand  of  the  New  Testament 
was  printed;  and  in  1685,  the  same  number  of  the  Old  Testament.  The 
second  edition  is  complete  with  607  leaves,  the  Old  Testament  containing 
425 ;  the  New  Testament  131 ;  Psalms  and  Catechism  51  leaves.  Eliot 
did  not  receive  from  the  Pilgrim  fathers  that  aid  in  his  great  work  which  he 
had  a  right  to  demand.  The  funds  raised  in  England  for  Christianizing  the 
Indians  were  diverted  from  that  purpose,  by  the  Puritan  authorities ;  and  it 
was  not  until  peremptory  orders  from  the  Corporation  compelled  them  to 
restore  them  that  he  found  them  available  for  his  designs. 
Although  this  work  was  considered  so  exceedingly  rare  a  few  years  since,  that 
it  was  asserted  that  but  three  copies  were  known  to  exist,  the  zeal  of  Ameri- 
can bibliophilists  has  brought  to  light  in  this  country  no  less  than  23  copies 
of  the  first  edition.  They  are  distributed  in  the  libraries  of  the  following 
named  gentlemen :  Hon.  Henry  C.  Murphy,  Brooklyn,  L.  I.,  2 ;  Mr.  T.  W. 
Field,  Brooklyn,  L.  I.,  1  ;  Mr.  John  H.  King  (deceased),  Jamaica,  L,  I.,  1 ;

Notwithstanding  this  considerable  number  of  known  copies  in  this  country,  in 
addition  to  at  least  nine  in  Europe,  the  price  of  each  successive  copy  of- 
fered for  sale  has  been  greatly  augmented  above  the  last.  The  copy  belong- 
ing to  Mr.  John  A.  Rice  had  been  bought  for  £100  in  1863,  but  was  sold 
in  1869  for  $1,050.  Twenty  years  since  Mr.  Murphy  bought  one  of  his 
copies  in  London  for  twenty  shillings,  and  in  1870  Mr.  Quarritch  sold  an- 
other for  £250,  or  nearly  two  thousand  dollars  of  the  United  States  currency 
of  that  date.

[Essay  on  this  question  :  "When  and  how  has  America  been  peopled  with  men 
and  animals  1  by  E.  B.  d'Engel.] 
D'Engel,  with  great  sounding  of  trumpets,  that  he  is  about  to  propound  a 
theory  of  the  population  of  America  both  novel  and  impregnable,  asserts 
that  it  was  antediluvian  in  its  origin.  He  berates  Grotiiis,  DeLaet,  and 
Homius  in  detail,  but  he  groups  Acosta,  Lescarbot,  Brerewood,  and  Moraes 
with  "  plusiers  eci'ivains,"  and  dismisses  them  altogether  with  contempt. 
He  argues  at  great  length  to  reconcile  his  theory  with  the  sacred  writings, 
and  to  account  for  the  but  partial  submersion  of  the  surface  of  the  globe.

This,  although  with  the  same  date,  is  really  a  different,  somewhat  later,  and 
generally  inferior  edition  to  the  first.  The  only  point  of  superiority  consists 
in  the  addition  of  the  fourth  part.  The  type  from  whicli  it  was  printed, 
was  much  smaller,  of  a  meaner  style  and  worn,  the  paper  of  a  poorer  quality, 
and  the  general  appearance  greatly  inferior. 

The  first  three  books  of  the  second  edition  are  not  unfrequently  found  unac- 
companied by  the  fourth,  and  the  imperfect  work  is  believed  to  be  complete 
on  account  of  the  finis  and  the  table.

vii.  and  viii.,  p|).  77  to  105  of  the  same  part,  are  almost  wholly  occupied  with 
a  description  of  the  habits,  religion,  and  mode  of  warfare  of  the  Indians  of 
Costa  Itica,  with  cuts  of  their  weapons.  The  fierce  French  and  English 
marauders,  who  so  constantly  overcame  the  Spaniards,  were  as  constantly 
checked  or  defeated  whenever  they  assailed  the  Indians  of  the  Isthmus  or 
the  adjacent  countries.  But  the  most  noteworthy  historical  fact  elucidated 
by  this  volume,  is  the  proof  of  the  retributive  fruit  of  vengeance  forever  pro- 
duced from  the  vile  seeds  of  cruelty.  The  Spaniard,  who  for  a  century  and 
a  half  had  devastated  the  countries  of  the  Indians,  with  cruelties  born  of 
hell,  was  now  to  become  the  )>rey  of  fiends  as  ferocious  and  vindictive  but 
more  powerful  than  himself.  There  were  burnings  at  the  stake,  there  were 
venerable  men  flayed  alive,  beautiful  women  forced  to  submit  to  the  lust  of 
the  most  loathsome  of  the  human  race,  children  impaled  on  bayonets,  and 
men  hung  by  their  privates ;  but  the  victims  were  no  longer  miserable  In- 
dians. Alas,  they  were  not  even  the  perpetrators  of  the  cruelties  suffered  by 
the  natives.     The  sins  of  the  fathers  shall  be  visited  upon  the  children.

Mr.  Evans  was  the  Governor  of  Colorado  Territory  at  the  time  of  the  horrible 
Sand  Creek  Massacre  of  friendly  Indians.  Although  not  in  the  immediate 
command  of  the  murdering  horde  under  Colonel  Chivington,  who  perpetrated 
the  frightful  atrocities  narrated  under  the  title  of  "  Condition  of  the  Indian 
Tribes,"  yet  he  organized  the  force,  and  is  charged  with  having  given  the  in- 
struction to  Colonel  Chivington,  which  has  made  his  name  infamous.  Gov- 
ernor Evans'  popularity  was  so  much  augmented  with  the  cruel  borderers  and 
bloodthirsty  adventurers  of  the  territory,  that  he  was  elected  to  the  United 
States  Senate,  where  he  met  a  civilized  community,  who  were  horrified  at  the 
crimes  he  had  authorized,  and  was  compelled  to  print  this  lame  exculpation 
of  them.

agents  o(  the  government,  and  by  the  desire  of  General  Washington,  sent 
on  a  mission  to  the  Indians  of  Ohio,  on  the.  occasion  of  the  meeting  of  a

incidents  of  his  intercourse  with  the  Indians,  which  occupies  pp.  13  to  103

The  subject  of  the  North  American  Indians  must  have  early  been  one  of  great 
interest  to  the  English  mind,  for  a  large  number  of  the  works  of  fiction,  of 
which  copies  cannot  be  readily  obtained,  have  the  locality  in  America  and 
involve  a  captivity  among  the  savages.  They  are  generally  written,  like  the 
adventures  of  Falconer,  with  such  a  profound  gravity,  and  freedom  from 
dramatic  colloquialisms,  that  they  leave  the  reader  vexed  with  a  doubt  if 
they  are  wholly  fictitious,  or  not  as  generally  truthful  as  the  boasted  verit- 
able narratives.

the  missions  established  by  them.  The  author's  long  residence  in  the 
country  should,  however,  have  afforded  him  more  material  for  a  general 
view  of  the  peculiarities,  language,  and  condition  of  its  aboriginal  inhabi- 
tants.

The  first  subject  announced  as  the  purpose  of  these  volumes  in  the  Preface, 
is  certainly  well  sustained  by  their  contents,  "  Historical  Sketches  of  Indian 
Wars,  battles,  and  Exploits ;  of  the  adventures  and  sufferings  of  the  Cap- 
tives." The  work  is  in  fact  a  copious  cyclopasdia  of  Indian  history ;  nar- 
ratives of  captivities  in  their  original  style  without  abridgment;  descriptions 
of  Indian  antiquities,  with  memoirs  and  anecdotes  of  Indian  chiefs,  and 
border  fighters  of  the  whites. 

It  may  be  considered  the  model  of  a  historical  magazine,  or  of  a  collection  of 
material  relating  to  the  early  history  of  any  locality.

This  is  by  far  the  best  edition  of  Farnham's  Travels,  which  work  is  an  entirely 
distinct  one  from  his  Life  in  California.  Much  the  greater  portion  of  the 
work  is  devoted  to  the  narration  of  his  observations  of  Indian  life  and  char- 
acter, with  incidents  of  adventure,  or  association,  with  almost  every  tribe  of 
the  Great  Plains  and  the  Rocky  Mountains.  His  work  is  full  of  interest, 
and  as  it  is  evidently  written  with  fidelity  to  actual  observation,  it  possesses

The  author  of  this  work  was  a  German  adventurer  who  accompanied  the  ex- 
pedition of  his  countrymen  to  Venezuela  in  1529.  The  short-Jived  German 
government  of  this  country  is  little  known  except  through  his  narration,  and 
that  is  so  rare,  as  to  be  almost  as  unknown  to  bibliographers,  as  tlie  domina- 
tion of  the  Germans  in  that  country  is  to  historians.  Federman's  narrative 
is  almost  wholly  devoted  to  the  descriptions  of  the  Indian  nations  of  the 
country,  and  of  his  adventures  among  them.  Chapters  iv.  to  xiii.  are  each 
entirely  occupied  with  the  relations  of  one  of  these  tribes,  whose  name  forms 
tlie  heading.  It  has  the  combined  qualities  of  priority,  and  fidelity  of  de- 
scription, of  the  characteristics  of  these  tribes,  to  entitle  it  to  our  considera- 
tion. The  work  has  never  been  reprinted  or  translated  except  in  this  pres- 
ent form.

FiNLEY    (J.  B.). 

History  of  the  Wyandotte  Mission  at  Upper  Sanduskey,  Ohio, 
under  the  direction  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church.  By  Rev. 
James  B.  Finley.  12"  pp.  432.  Cincinnati,  published  by  J.  F. 
Wright,  1840.  .  538 

The  author  commenced  his  acquaintance  with  the  Wyandots  as  a  missionary 
in  1819,  and  remained  among  them  eight  years.  Five  years  before,  an  uned- 
ucated mulatto  who,  inspired  by  a  sense  of  religious  duty,  had  wandered  from 
place  to  place  in  search  of  some  people  who  were  without  religious  instruction, 
arrived  at  one  of  the  Wyandot  villages  during  the  celebration  of  some  of 
their  pagan  rites.  After  the  subsidence  of  the  hideous  clamor,  lie  struck  up 
one  of  the  simple  and  touching  melodies  of  the  Methodist  Church,  in  his 
powerful  and  rich  tones.  It  struck  the  savage  ears  of  his  Indian  audience, 
and  gave  him  such  an  influence  that  in  a  year  or  two  he  had  changed  the 
whole  aboriginal  structure  of  their  social  and  religious  lite.  From  that  most 
abandoned  and  debauched  medley  of  white  and  Indian  vices,  which  a  frontier 
tribe  adopts,  the  community  became  an  almost  civilized  and  Christian  one. 
For  five  years  this  African  apostle  struggled  and  wrought  alone,  until  the 
Methodist  authorities  recognized  his  labors,  and  assumed  their  jurisdiction. 
To  their  supervision  the  author  was  appointed.  Mr.  Finley  inclines  to  the 
notion  of  the  Ten  Israclitish  tribes  being  the  ancestors  of  the  thousand  Indian 
tribes  of  America.  His  first  chapter  is  therefore  devoted  to  its  argumenta- 
tion. The  peculiar  habits,  customs,  and  traditions  of  the  Wyandots  form 
the  subject  of  the  second  chapter,  while  chapter  third  gives  an  account  of  the 
introduction  of  the  Gospel  among  them  by  the  African  missionary  Stewart,

and  the  assumption  of  the  mission  by  the  Methodist  Church.  The  rest  of 
the  volume  is  occupied  by  the  personal  experiences  of  the  author  while 
resident  with  the  tribe,  among  which  are  very  many  striking  and  interesting 
peculiarities  of  the  Indian  character.  Mr.  I'inley  wrote  with  evident  scra- 
pulosity,  as  his  narrative  bears  strong  internal  evidence  of  its  being  a  faith- 
ful record  of  the  incidents  which  transpired  within  his  own  knowledge.

Autobiography  of  Rev.  James  B.  Finley,  or  Pioneer  Life  in  the

plates.  Printed  at  the  Methodist  Book  Concern^  Cincinnati,  1856 
and  1867.  539 

In  this  volume  the  author  of  the  History  of  the  Wyandot  Mission  takes  a 
much  wider  scope,  and  gives  his  reminiscences  of  border  life  at  the  period 
of  the  Revolution,  and  in  succeeding  years.  In  addition  to  the  already  avail- 
able sources  of  information  on  the  subject  of  Indian  skirmishes,  massacres, 
and  captivities,  he  adds  naany  particulars  not  before  printed,  derived  from 
family  traditions  and  experiences.  He  narrates  some  horrid  atrocities  of  the 
whites,  which  the  fertile  inventions  of  the  savages  for  murderous  novelties, 
have  never  quite  equaled. 

In  Chapter  vi.  he  commences  the  narrative  of  his  Life  in  the  Woods,  and  of  his 
first  itineracy,  during  the  course  of  which,  many  of  the  tragical  events  of 
border  warfare,  are  narrated  to  him  by  the  survivors.  Many  of  these  the 
author  reproduces  in  his  volume.  Chapter  xxviii.  is  entitled  "  Indian  Biog- 
raphy," in  which  he  gives  the  principal  incidents  in  the  lives  of  the  VVyau- 
doi  Chiefs,  Ma-nuncue  and  Between-the-Logs,  with  their  portraits.

The  first  half  of  his  work  is  an  enlarged  reprint  of  the  two  works  by  the 
same  author,  entitled.  History  of  the  Wyundols,  and  Aiitohiof/raphi/.  Many 
additional  particulars  however  are  given  in  this  portion  of  his  narrative,  and 
the  remainder  is  almost  wholly  new  matter.  The  chapters  commencing 
with  the  twelfth  are  entitled,  "  Visit  to  Neighboring  Tribes  " —  "  Bishop 
McKendree  in  the  Mission  " —  "  Excursion  to  the  Northern  Tribes  "  —  "  Con- 
verted Indians  on  a  Winter  hunt "  —  "  Bishops  McKendree  and  Soule  in

"  Visit  to  the  East  with  Indian  Chiefs  "  —  "  Division  of  the  Wyandot  Liinds  " 
—  and  ending  with  Chapter  xx.,  "  Biographical  Sketches  and  Anecdotes 
(of  eleven  Indian  Chiefs,  and  other  Wyandots."  All  of  the  work  indicated 
by  these  subject  titles,  and  covering  pp.  324  to  528,  is  new  material  and  adds 
very  greatly  to  the  value  of  the  series  of  works  by  Mr.  Finley.

A  very  large  portion  of  these  volumes  is  devoted  to  relations  of  border 
warfare,  anecdotes  of  pioneers,  and  sketches  of  the  Indians  once  peopling 
the  portion  of  Ohio  known  as  the  Fire  Lands.

the  purpose  not  only  of  confirming:  the  attachment  of  the  Five  Nntions  to  the 
British  interest  as  opposed  to  the  French,  but  also  to  enlist  that  of  the  court 
in  colonial  afikirs.  The  chiefs  were  made  much  of  during  their  stay  in  Eng- 
land ;  were  received  at  court,  harangued  the  Queen,  and  sent  hack  loaded 
with  rich  gifts.  Their  portraits  were  painted  and  engraved  in  folio  size,  and 
are  equally  rare  with  the  book  itself,  of  which  thev  never  formed  a  part.  For

These  portraits  in  folio,  were  engraved  at  the  period  of  the  visit  of  the  chiefs 
of  the  tribes  on  the  northern  shores  of  Lakes  Ontario  and  Erie,  to  England. 
They  are  very  rarely  found  together,  and  form  when  complete  an  interesting 
memorial  of  the  tribes  which  have  long  since  disappeared.  That  the  chiefs 
were  real  personages,  is  abundantly  proved  by  contemporary  writers.  The 
Spectator,  No.  50,  is  founded  upon  their  visit  to  England.  Sir  l^iehard  Steele 
commences  his  essay  with  this  paragraph,  "  When  the  four  Indian  kings  were 
in  this  country  about  a  twelvemonth  ago,  I  often  mixed  with  the  rabble  and 
followed  them  a  whole  day  together.  I  employed  a  friend  to  make  in(juirie8 
of  their  landlord,  the  upholsterer,  etc.,  etc."  This  upholsterer  was  the  father 
of  Dr.  Arne,  the  celebrated  musical  composer,  in  whose  biography  the  inci- 
dent of  their  residence  is  mentioned.  The  house  was  situated  in  King  Street, 
Covent  Garden.  A  curious  piece  of  spite  appears  in  Dean  Swift's  Journal 
associated  with  these  Indian  chiefs.  The  fragment  is  of  course  addressed  to 
Stella  :  "  The  Spectator  is  written  by  Steele  with  Addison's  help,  'tis  often 
very  pretty.  Yesterday  it  was  made  of  a  noble  hint  I  gave  him  long  ago  for 
hisTattlers,  about  an  Indian,  supposed  to  write  his  journey  into  England. 
I  repent  he  ever  had  it  I  intended  to  write  a  book  on  that  sul)ject.  I  be- 
lieve he  has  spent  it  all  in  one  paper,  and  all  the  under  hints  are  mine  too."

The  collation  of  this  work  is  much  involved,  in  consequence  of  the  numerous 
errors  in  pagination,  and  the  cancellation  of  four  pages  in  some  copies. 

A  perfect  copy  consists  of  134  leaves  and  map,  namely,  12  prel.  pp.,  text  num- 
bered 1  to  269  and  3  unnumbered  pages.  Between  pp.  168  and  169  are  two 
leaves  numbered  170, 172, 170,  and  one  blank  page,  which  are  stated  in  some 
catalogues  to  have  been  cancelled  in  most  copies.  Besides  this,  there  are 
more  than  twenty  errors  in  the  pagination.  The  reverse  of  p.  79  is  num- 
bered 100,  and  this  hiatus  of  twenty  pages  in  the  numeration  is  not  filled  by 
correction  in  any  subsequent  part  of  the  book.  Most  of  the  other  errors  are 
mere  substitutions  of  one  number  for  another,  corrected  ou  the  next  page 
generally  by  duplicating  tlie  substituted  number. 

Signature  Bb  which  should  l)e  205  to  212,  is  numbered  225  to  232,  and  Sig. 
Cc.  begins  with  213,  repeating  the  last  numbers. 

The  Narratives  and  Journals  of  early  voyagers  to  the  Arctic  territories,  of 
which  this  work  consists,  are  filled  with  accounts  of  the  ferocity  and  vindic- 
tiveness  of  the  natives,  traits  of  character  for  which  the  present  Esquimaux 
inhal)itants  have  never  been  remarkable.  It  is  evident  that  the  i"ace  of  abo- 
rigines which  alarmed  the  early  navigators  by  their  fierce  warfare,  has  long 
passed  away,  and  the  place  of  the  implacable  red  Indian  been  occupied  by 
the  mild  fair-skinned  Esquimaux.

Narrative  of  a  Voyage  to  the  Northwest  Coast  of  America  in

ment on  the  Pacific.  By  Gabriel  Franchere.  Translated  and 
edited  by  J.  V.  Huntington.  12°  3  plates,  pp.  376.  JV^ew  York, 
1854.  558 

The  author  was  one  of  the  party  sent  out  by  Mr.  Astor,  to  establish  his  col- 
ony at  Astoria.  His  charming  narrative  of  a  sojourn  of  four  years  among 
the  Indian  tribes  of  the  Rocky  Mountains  and  the  Pacific  Coast,  was  the 
basis  of  Washington  Irving's  much  more  celebrated  Astoria,  to  which  it  is 
little  if  at  all  inferior.  It  is  easy  to  see  from  whence  the  inspiration  of 
Irving's  relation  of  Indian  life  was  derived  after  reading  the  unpretending, 
yet  most  effectively  picturesque  and  natural  story  of  Franchere's  life  of  a 
fur-trader.  It  is  the  earliest  narrative  of  adventure  among  the  Indians  of 
the  Pacific  Coast,  descriptive  of  their  manners  and  peculiarities,  having  been 
originally  published  in  irench  in  1815.

Of  the  beautiful  engravings  which  accompany  this  volume,  six  are  illustrative 
of  the  features  or  habits  of  life  of  the  Aborigines  of  the  arctic  regions. 

The  expedition  left  York  Factory  on  Hudson's  Bay  in  September,  1819,  passed 
across  the  territory  to  Great  Slave  Lake  and  thence  to  the  Arctic  Ocean,  by 
the  Coppermine  Hiver.  Three  winters  were  passed,  in  the  awful  rigors  of  a 
climate  which  seems  to  have  been  ordained  to  test  the  limit  of  the  endurance 
of  human  organism.  The  exj)edition  effected  one  undesigned  good, —  in 
proving  that  even  in  that  dreadful  zone,  where  every  hour  renews  the  strug- 
gle of  every  living  thing  for  existence,  the  nobler  attributes  of  man,  human- 
ity and  disinterestedness,  have  not  been  crushed  out  even  in  savage  hearts. 

While  almost  every  page  of  the  narrative  contains  an  incident  of  Indian  life, 
and  a  large  part  of  both  volumes  is  occupied  with  some  reference  to,  or 
lengthy  account  of,  the  aborigines  resident  in  the  regions  traversed,  yet 
there  are  portions  of  the  work  entirely  devoted  to  the  same  subject.  Chap- 
ter iii.  of  Vol.  II.,  pp.  91  to  145,  is  entitled  "Dr.  Richardson's  Account  of  the 
Cree. Indians,"  and  is  one  of  the  best,  as  it  is  certainly  the  most  authentic 
statement  of  their  peculiar  customs  and  modes  of  life.  Many  details  are 
given  in  the  progress  of  the  work  of  the  Copper,  Dog-Rib,  Esquimaux,  and 
Chippewyan  Indians ;  but  it  is  in  the  last  chapter,  where  the  author  nar- 
rates the  story  of  that  appalling  march  on  the  return  journey,  that  our  inter- 
est is  most  deeply  excited.  When  the  climax  of  hufnan  suffering  has  been 
reached,  and  the  last  hair's-breadth  of  its  endurance  tested,  and  all  the  hor- 
rors of  starvation,  frozen  limbs,  and  every  imaginable  torture  combined  have 
been  sustained,  it  is  gratifying  to  find  that  even  in  the  most  degraded  tribes 
of  Indians  the  explorers  found  relief  from  their  humanity.  The  Chippewyan 
Chief  Akaitcho,  while  his  own  tribe  was  starving,  exerted  himself  to  the  ut- 
most to  procure  them  supplies,  and  it  was  owing  to  the  kindness  and  sympa- 
thy of  the  savages  that  Franklin  and  his  party  survived  this  dreadful  expe- 
dition.   A  portrait  of  this  humane  chief  is  given  in  one  of  the  plates.

This  splendid  edition  of  Franklin's  Narrative  of  his  Second  Arctic  Journey,  it 
is  sufficiently  high  praise  to  say  is  worthy  of  its  subject.  The  beauty  of  the 
typography  is  rivaled  by  that  of  the  engravings,  each  of  which  is  a  splendid 
specimen  of  art.  Nine  of  these  illustrations  represent  some  incident  in  the 
intercourse  of  the  explorers  with  the  Esquimaux.

This  edition  contains  the  "  Memoir  of  the  Establishment  of  the  Jesuits  in 
Paraguay,"  not  published  in  the  editions  printed  in  Paris.  This  curious 
relation  affords  us  some  important  particulars  of  the  oligarchy  by  which  the 
priests  governed  nearly  a  million  of  Indians  for  two  centuries,  with  a  des- 
potic authority  almost  unparalleled.  As  a  note  on  page  577  of  the  Amster- 
dam edition  of  1717  informs  us  that  Frezier  is  not  the  author  of  this  Rela- 
tion, we  are  left  in  ignorance  of  the  person  to  whom  it  is  to  be  attributed. 
Frezier's  work  is  entitled  to  the  credit  of  great  veracity  and  labor  to  secure 
exactness. 

The  relation  of  M.  Frezier  has  always  been  highly  esteemed  from  his  char- 
acter as  an  author  of  great  truthfulness,  as  well  as  for  the  numerous  exact 
maps  with  which  it  is  illustrated.  Many  curious  particulars  which  he  ob- 
served of  the  aborigines  of  the  countries  in  South  America  that  he  visited 
are  given.  M.  Frezier  was  among  the  earliest  to  describe  the  use  of  the 
quipu,  or  knotted  cord  diary  of  the  Peruvian  Indians. 

Plates  nine  and  ten  are  representative  of  some  of  the  customs  of  the  Indians 
of  Chili,  and  plate  31  exhibits  figures  of  the  Incas,  and  other  Peruvians 
drawn  by  the  Indians  of  Cuzco,  with  views  of  their  houses,  and  of  utensils 
found  in  their  tombs.

This  is  one  of  the  rarest  of  the  series  known  as  the  Eliot  Tracts,  being  No. 
10  of  the  Reports  of  the  "  Corporation  for  the  Propagation  of  the  Gospel 
among  the  Indians  of  New  England." 

The  page  marked  (Addenda)  in  the  collation  is  missing  in  one  or  two  of  the 
few  copies  I  have  seen,  and  in  one  it  is  placed  as  Precedcnda.  The  page  has 
no  title,  being  a  certificate,  commencing  "  These  are  to  testify."  From  page 
37  to  76  is  occupied  with  the  Confessions  of  Seven  Indians,  each  given  at 
length  under  his  own  name.  The  ratiocination  involved  in  these  religious 
testimonies,  as  the  production  of  aboriginal  intellects,  so  lately  incapable  of 
numbering  fifty,  seems  incredible  to  us.  Mr.  Pierson,  the  interpreter,  must 
have  given  their  stories  a  very  liberal  and  forced  translation.

"  Corporation  for  Propagating  the  Gospel  among  the  Indians  of  North

sold  at  the  auction  of  the  library  of  Mr.  Rice  for  $170.  The  second  part, 
with  a  full  page  title,  "  Some  Helps  For  the  Indians,"  by  Abraham  Pierson,

[Origin  of  the  Indians  of  the  New  World,  and  West  Indies,  supported  by  a 
discourse  and  opinions  by  the  serving  Father  Fray  Gregorio  Garcia  of  the 
order  of  Preachers.  In  this  book  various  things  and  curious  points  are 
treated  of,  relating  to  various  Sciences  and  Professions,  together  with  a 
varied  History  much  to  the  taste  of  the  Mind  and  Understanding  of  learned 
and  curious  men.  Second  edition.  Amended  and  increased  with  some 
opinions  or  notable  things,  as  a  farther  proof  of  the  contents.  With  three 
very  detailed  tables  of  the  Chapters,  of  the  Materials  and  of  the  Authors 
which  treat  of  them.  Dedicated  to  the  Angelic  Doctor  San  Tomas  de  Aquino. 
With  royal  privilege.    Madrid,  1729.] 

The  author  spent  twenty  years  as  a  missionary  among  the  Indians  of  South 
America,  and  applied  himself  with  the  greatest  zeal  to  the  study  of  the  an- 
tiquities of  the  country.  This  work  was  the  result  of  his  researches,  pre- 
pared for  publication  after  his  return  to  Spain.  Father  Gregorio  Garcia,  of 
the  Dominican  ordei',  first  printed  this  highly  esteemed  work  at  Valencia  in 
1607.  It  was  augmented  by  the  addition  of  some  very  learned  notes,  written 
by  the  equally  celebrated  Barcia,  and  reprinted  at  Madrid  in  1729.  Clavi- 
gero  pronounces  it  a  work  of  vast  erudition,  but  almost  totally  useless,  as  it 
gives  little  or  no  assistance  in  discovering  truth,  the  foundation  for  the 
opinions  which  he  maintains  concerning  the  origin  of  the  American  Indians 
being  for  the  most  part  weak  conjectures,  based  upon  the  resemblance  be- 
tween some  of  their  words  and  customs,  compared  with  other  nations.  Dr. 
Cabrera,  on  the  other  hand,  thought  highly  of  it,  and  the  critical  Barcia 
would  hardly  have  expended  his  time  in  annotating  and  reproducing  a  work 
of  slight  value.  Father  Garcia  examines  in  detail  all  the  opinions  regarding 
the  origin  of  the  aborigines,  —  their  derivation  from  the  freebooting  Cartha- 
ginians ;  the  traverse  of  the  lost  Jewish  tribes  across  the  frozen  deserts  to 
America ;  that  Peru  was  the  Ophir  of  Solomon ;  that  the  ancestors  of  the 
Indians  crossed  from  Europe  to  Africa,  and  from  thence  to  the  New  World, 
and  that  they  were  the  descendants  of  the  Romans.  All  these  are  set  forth 
with  all  the  arguments  adduced  in  their  favor,  and  the  objections  urged 
against  them,  with  great  fairness  and  immense  learning.

The  first  edition  of  this,  the  second  part  of  the  Commentaries,  was  printed  in 
Cordova,  1617,  in  folio,  eight  years  after  the  appearance  of  the  "  Primera

to  be  obtained  together.  Besides  this  edition  edited  by  Barcia,  a  tliird  was 
printed  in  Madrid  in  1801,  comprising  all  of  Garcilaso  de  la  Vega's  works 
m  seventeen  small  12°  volumes. 

These  two  works,  or  rather  two  volumes  of  the  same  history,  were  translated

pher  Wilkinson  at  the  Black-Boy  against  St.  Bunstan's  Church  in 

Fleetstreet,  1G88.  592 

The  author  of  the  three  works  on  the  Conquest  of  the  Aboriginal  Nations  in 
Peru  and  Florida,  was  the  son  of  one  of  the  conquerors  of  Peni,  Garcilaso  de 
la  Vega,  by  the  daughter  of  the  Inca  Huallpa  Tupac,  and  sister  of  Iluayna 
Capac  Inca,  the  last  native  monarch  of  Peru.  He  was  so  proud  of  bothpa- 
ternal  and  maternal  origin,  that  while  he  assumed  the  Spanish  name  of  the 
first,  he  was  careful  to  assert  his  Incarial  descent.  He  was  evidently  a  gen- 
tleman of  refinement,  and  possessed  of  much  more  learning  than  was  usually 
acquired  by  the  conquistadors  themselves.  That  one  of  Indian  blood,  and  a 
descendant  of  the  proud  race  of  the  Incas,  should  have  been  the  most  indus- 
trious and  careful  historian  of  the  evil  fortunes  of  his  race,  and  the  chroni- 
cler of  the  victories  of  their  conquerors,  may  well  excite  our  surprise.  He 
was  not,  however,  alone  in  this  scholarly  and  mournful  labor,  for  Clavigero 
cites  the  names  of  fifteen  other  noble  and  royal  Indians  who  wrote  histories 
of  the  events  which  either  preceded  or  followed  the  conquest  of  their  heroic 
race.  The  high  state  of  civilization,  reached  by  the  Incas  of  Peru,  can  be  no 
better  evidenced,  than  by  the  fact  that  sixteen  of  that  ill-fated  nation,  were 
so  imbued  with  literary  fervor  as  to  chronicle  the  fortunes  of  their  race. 

Ferdinand  Ixtlilxochitl,  son  of  the  last  king  of  Acolhuacan,  and  Antonio  Mon- 
tezuma Ixtlilxochitl,  a  descendant  of  the  roj'al  house  of  Montezuma,  wrote  a 
genealogy  of  their  houses,  and  some  historical  memoirs  which  were  preserved 
in  the  Jesuits'  College  in  Mexico. 

The  son  of  the  first  named  Indian  noble  wrote  Historical  Memoirs  of  his  an- 
cestors' kingdom  which  greatly  aided  Torquemada  in  writing  his  Monarchia 
Indiana. 

Niza,  a  noble  Indian  of  Tlascala,  wrote  a  History  of  ike  Conquest  by  Cortex, 
which  was  authenticated  by  the  signatures  of  thirty  Indian  nobles  of  Tlas- 
cala. 

Ayala,  a  noble  of  Tescuco,  wrote  Historical  Commentaries  in  the  Mexican  lan- 
guage of  that  kingdom,  from  the  year  1243  to  1562. 

Mendoza,  a  Tlascalan  Indian  noble,  wrote  in  his  native  tongue,  the  chronicles 
of  his  country.  Pedro  Ponce,  another  Indian,  wrote  in  the  Spanish,  An  Ac- 
count of  the  Gods  and  the  Rites  of  Mexican  Paganism. 

The  native  chiefs  of  Colhuacan  wrote  the  annals  of  that  kingdom,  or  province 
of  Mexico. 

Camargo,  a  native  noble  of  Tlascala,  wrote  a  History  of  the  City  and  Republic  of 
Tlascala,  of  such  merit  that  Torquemada  made  large  use  of  his  work  in  com- 
piling his  Monarchia  Indiana,  as  he  did  of  the  Historical  Memoirs  of  Cho- 
lula,  written  by  the  Indian  Juan  Poman. 

Fernando  Alba  Ixtlilxochitl  wrote  four  works  of  great  erudition,  which  will 
be  found  noted  under  his  name. 

Domingo  Chimalpain,  a  noble  Indian  of  Mexico,  wrote  four  works  in  the  Mex- 
ican language,  which  were  much  esteemed  by  the  learned.  These  were  pre- 
served in  the  library  of  the  College  of  St.  Peter  and  St.  Paul  in  Mexico,  and 
were  copied  by  Botturini,  who  also  procured  copies  of  most  of  the  other  In- 
dian works  mentioned. 

Fernando  Tezozomoc,  a  Mexican  Indian,  wrote  in  Spanish,  a  Mexican  Chron- 
icle, which  was  also  preserved  in  the  same  library. 

Garcilaso  de  la  Vega,  the  author  of  the  works  under  consideration,  is  said  by 
Irving  to  have  conceived  such  an  ardent  desire  to  view  the  land  of  his  father  s 
nativity,  that  he  abandoned  the  country  of  the  Incas,  and  took  up  his  resi- 
dence at  Cordova.  His  Royal  Commentaries  of  Peru  obtained  for  him  the 
favor  of  the  sovereigns  of  Leon  and  Castile,  and  the  esteem  of  the  learned 
throughout  Spain.  Barcia  says,  in  his  Preface  to  his  edition  of  La  Florida 
del  Inca,  that  Garcilaso  was  during  his  lifetime  eminent  for  his  religion,  no- 
bility, virtue,  modesty,  and  devotion  to  literature,  and  was  always  held  in  the 
highest  estimation  as  a  historian.  The  Friar  Buenventura  de  Salinas,  in  his 
Memarial  de  la  Historia  del  Nuevo  Mundo,  says  "  the  Inca  Garcilaso,  a  Cap-

tain,  native  of  the  city  of  Cuzco,  was  highly  esteemed  for  his  great  talents 
and  capacity."     "  His  fame  extended  over  all  the  world." 

So  great  was  the  veneration  in  which  his  character  was  held,  that  he  was 
buried  in  the  great  cathedral  of  Cordova,  and  the  portion  of  the  sacred  edi- 
fice where  his  remains  were  deposited  was  denominated  thereafter  the  Chapel 
of  Garcilaso. 

On  each  side  of  the  chapel  is  a  monument  of  black  marble,  on  which  is  chiseled 
this  inscription,  "To  the  Inca  Garcilaso  de  la  Vega  —  a  noble  man,  whose 
memory  is  worthy  of  preservation.  Illustrious  by  birth ;  an  accomplished 
writer,  and  valiant  in  arms.  He  was  the  Son  of  Garcilaso  de  la  Vega,  and 
of  Elisabeth  Palla,  Sister  of  Huayna  Capac,  last  Emperor  of  the  Indias. 
Author  of  Commentaries  of  Florida,  Translator  of  Leon  Hehrero,  and  author 
of  the  Royal  Commentaries.  He  lived  at  Cordova  with  great  piety,  and  there 
died  with  exemplary  resignation,  22d  of  April,  1616.  Pray  to  God  for  his 
Soul." 

It  has  been  so  much  the  fashion,  during  the  last  century,  for  writers  to  treat 
lightly  the  merit  and  historical  value  of  Garcilaso's  works,  that  I  have  in- 
troduced these  testimonies  of  his  contemporaries  and  of  later  historians  to  his 
character.  He  had  access  to  sources  of  information  that  no  longer  exist, 
such  as  the  MS.  documents  and  relations  of  the  conquerors,  and  the  quipu 
records  of  the  Incas.  His  friends  and  relatives  of  his  native  race  were  at 
that  period  still  learned  in  the  Incarial  history.  This  gave  him  access  to, 
and  enabled  him  to  decipher  them.  He  had,  beside,  the  most  intimate  per- 
sonal relations  with  some  of  the  great  conquerors  and  commanders,  and 
probably  drew  confirmation  of  his  researches  from  their  own  lips.  He  ob- 
tained a  great  portion  of  the  material  for  his  history  of  De  Soto's  expedition 
from  an  old  friend  who  accompanied  him  on  that  fatal  invasion.  Garcilaso 
had  determined  to  preserve  the  details,  thus  narrated  to  him,  from  oblivion, 
but  his  service  to  the  king  separated  him  from  his  friend  for  more  than 
twenty  years.  At  last  freed  from  his  duty  in  the  field,  he  established  him- 
self in  the  village  where  his  friend  resided,  and  with  the  zeal  of  a  missionary, 
recorded  the  narrations  of  his  brother  soldier.  For  the  character  of  this 
hidalgo,  he  vouches  in  the  most  solemn  manner,  avowing  that  he  was  in- 
capable of  uttering  an  untruth.  While  engaged  in  thus  perpetuating  the 
facts,  which  he  had  long  grieved  to  think  must  die  with  his  friend,  he  re- 
ceived most  fortuitously  two  manuscripts  of  soldiers  engaged  in  that  famous 
expedition.  One  was  written  by  Alonso  de  Carmona,  and  was  entitled  Wan- 
derings in  Peru  and  Florida.  The  other,  a  somewhat  meagre  diary  of  the 
events  of  the  invasion,  was  the  work  of  a  soldier  named  Juan  Coles.  For- 
tified by  these  documents,  Garcilaso  incorporated  their  principal  details,  or 
used  them  to  corroborate  those  obtained  from  his  noble  friend.  Not  the 
least  valuable  testimony  to  the  veracity  and  worth  of  his  histories,  is  the 
fact  that  the  celebrated  Herrera,  who  is  regarded  as  "  The  Prince  of  Spanish 
Historians,"  incorporated  the  whole  of  La  Florida  del  Inca  into  his  Decades 
de  las  Indias.  This  acute  and  learned  writer,  living  so  near  the  period  in 
which  Garcilaso  wrote,  could  not  have  been  deceived  regarding  the  value  of 
Garcilaso's  works,  and  by  adopting,  certified  their  truthftilness  to  us. 

The  opinions  of  the  learned  have  differed  much  regarding  the  historical  value 
of  his  works.  Charlevoix,  who  has  not  a  ready  stock  of  praise  for  his  brother 
historians,  says  that  "  this  work  is  well  written,  but  the  author  has  evidently 
exaggerated  the  riches  and  power  of  the  Floridians." 

Charlevoix  declares,  however,  that  it  is  to  be  received  as  authentic  regarding 
the  expeditions  of  De  Soto  and  Louis  de  Morosco.  For  many  years  the  dicta 
of  Mr.  Robertson,  denying  the  authenticity  of  Garcilaso's  writings,  was  re- 
ceived without  question,  but  that  historian  s  own  credit  has  so  waned,  as  to 
affect  but  few  opinions  at  this  day.

The  tribe  of  Clallams,  so  called  bv  the  inhabitants  of  Washington  Territory 
where  these  Indians  reside,  on  tKe  southern  shore  of  the  Straits  of  Fuca, 
are  a  branch  of  the  Nootka  family ;  their  language  is  similar  to  that  of  the 
Songii's  and  Sokes  of  Vancouver's  Island.  The  Lummi  tribe  live  on  a  river 
emptying  into  the  Gulf  of  Georgia,  to  which  they  are  emigrants  from  a 
group  of  islands  in  the  Strait,  separating  Vancouver's  Island  from  the  Con- 
tinent. Both  vocabularies  were  collected  by  Mr.  Gibbs,  during  a  residence

The  fur-traders  of  the  eighteenth  century,  and  the  early  part  of  the  present, 
in  coasting  along  the  shores  of  Vancouver's  and  Nootka  Sounds,  carried  with 
them  some  of  the  words  of  each  of  the  tribes  whom  they  visited ;  until  at 
the  mouth  of  the  Columbia  they  found  a  quick-witted  people  who  adopted 
the  mongrel  jargon  they  heard  from  the  lips  of  the  strangers,  and  blended 
the  fragments  of  twelve  native  tongues,  with  some  English  and  French 
terms,  into  a  sort  of  language  possessing  nearly  five  hundred  words.  Mr. 
Gibbs,  with  the  zeal  of  a  philological  apostle,  undertook  to  resolve  this  wretch- 
ed jargon  into  its  original  elements,  and  this  is  the  result  of  his  labors. 
This  curious  history  of  the  degradation  of  a  language  is  doubly  interesting, 
as  the  declension  has  taken  place  in  our  own  day.  It  affords  a  valuable 
key  to  the  methods  by  which  languages  have  been  revolutionized  and  cor- 
rupted. On  pp.  13  and  14  is  a  bibliography  of  the  Chinook  jargon,  con- 
taining the  titles  of  fifteen  works  which  contain  vocabularies  of  that 
mongrel  dialect.  The  Chinook-English  Dictionary  occupies  pp.  15  to  29, 
and  the  English-Chinook  embraces  the  remainder  of  the  work.

This  treatise,  written  by  the  celebrated  advocate  of  the  abolition  of  slavery,  is 
a  glowing  arraignment  of  the  government  of  the  United  States  for  its  com- 
plicity in  the  outrages  perpetrated  upon  the  Seminoles,  in  the  interests  of  the 
slaveholders  of  Florida.  The  heroic  Indians  of  the  hammocks  defied  for 
a  quarter  of  a  century  the  armies  of  the  United  States,  and  to  the  shame  of 
that  government,  it  only  succeeded  in  conquering  them  by  the  foulest  treach- 
ery, and  the  most  shameless  violation  of  their  plighted  word  by  generals 
of  the  United  States  army.  The  long  and  bloody  war,  in  which  every 
captured  and  slain  Indian  cost  the  lives  of  more  than  fifty  white  soldiers, 
and  an  expenditure  of  one  hundred  and  forty  thousand  dollars,  originated 
in  the  seizure  of  the  handsome  wife  of  the  Chief  Osceola,  and  her  sale  into 
slavery.  The  war  thus  begun  in  treachery  was  only  ended  by  it.  General 
Jessup  having  pledged  his  word  of  honor  to  Osceola,  foully  violated  it,  and 
threw  him  into  prison  where  he  died.

GoMARA  (Lopez  de). 

The  Pleasant  Historie  of  the  Conquest  of  the  West  India,  now 
called  new  Spaine.  Atchieued  by  the  most  woorthie  Prince 
Hernando  Cortes,  Marques  of  the  Valley  of  Huaxacac,  most  de- 
lectable to  reade.  Translated  out  of  the  Spanish  tongue  by  T.

This  is  the  second  English  Edition  of  Gomara's  Cronica  de  Nueva  Espana. 
The  first  edition  of  the  translation  was  printed  in  1578,  by  Henry  Bynne- 
man.  The  dedication  is  signed  by  Thomas  Nicholas,  who  is  therefore  sup- 
posed to  be  the  translator.  The  conquest  of  the  Aztecs,  their  peculiarities 
of  religion,  warfare,  and  government,  are  portrayed  here  by  one  of  the  earliest, 
as  he  was  one  of  the  most  able  of  the  Spanish  historians.  The  Cronica  of 
Gomara  was  first  printed  in  1554  as  the  second  part  of  his  General  History.

The  author  has  gathered  in  the  first  six  chapters  of  his  book,  the  Tvell-known 
incidents  of  the  border  wars  of  New  York,  which  had  been  many  times 
printed  before. 

They  are  entitled  "  Aboriginal  French  and  English  History,"  "  Cherry  Val- 
ley," "  Border  Wars.  Battle  of  Oriskany  and  Siege  of  Fort  Schuyler," 
"  Flight  of  St.  Leger,  Brant  gathering  his  Forces,  and  the  Massacre,"  "  Sulli- 
van's Campaign,  Pioneer  movements,  Indian  reflections.  Revenge  and  De- 
struction of  Mohawk  Valley."  In  chapter  xi.,  entitled  "  Legend  of  Tiough- 
nioga  Valley,"  he  adds  something  more  or  less  authentic  to  our  aboriginal 
literature.

This  is  the  third  Spanish  edition  of  this  work  first  printed  in  1741,  and  re- 
printed in  1745.  Subjected  to  sharp  criticisms  for  a  long  time,  for  its  sup- 
posed want  of  veracity,  further  explorations  only  confirmed  the  author's 
statements.  The  French  edition  publi-shcd  in  1758,  in  three  volumes,  was 
much  abridged,  and  with  a  title  invented  by  the  unscrupulous  translator. 
The  object  of  the  work  is  indeed  but  poorly  expressed  in  the  author's  own 
title,  as  more  than  three  fourths  of  it  is  devoted  to  a  minute  description  ot 
the  government,  peculiar  customs,  religious  rites,  domestic  habits,  and  cere- 
Tnonies  of  the  Indians  inhabiting  the  shores  of  the  Orinoco  and  its  tribu- 
taries. The  plates  are  copied  from  drawings  intended  to  illustrate  some  of 
the  peculiarities  of  their  life  and  habits.

All  of  Vol.  I.  after  p.  94,  the  whole  of  Vol.  II.  and  Vol.  III.  from  p.  166  to 
the  end,  are  occupied  solely  with  minute  and  faithful  descriptions  of  the  In- 
dians. Every  peculiarity  affcctinp;  their  customs,  mode  of  life,  wars,  religion, 
and  government,  is  treated  by  this  intellijrent  obsei-ver. 

In  the  Leclerc  Catalogue,  is  affixed  this  note  :  "  The  work  of  Father  Gumilla 
is  one  of  t!ie  most  curious  and  interesting  hitherto  published  upon  the  coun- 
try of  the  Orinoco.  Although  the  reverend  Father  passed  many  years  of  hig 
life  in  America,  his  work  is  derived  principally  from  the  historic  MSS.  of  the 
Fathers  Mercado  and  Ribera."  Father  Gumilla  was  born  in  1690,  and  ap- 
pointed Superior  of  the  Missions  of  Orinoco,  and  more  than  once  travelled 
along  the  shores  of  almost  the  entire  course  of  this  great  river.  As  late  as 
174.5  he  returned  from  Spain  to  America,  but  the  period  and  place  of  his 
death  is  unknown. 

GUINNARD    (A.). 

Three  years'  Slavery  among  the  Patagonians :  an  Account  of  his 
Giptivity,  By  A.  Guinnard,  member  of  the  Geographical  Society 
of  France.  From  the  third  French  edition.  By  Charles  S. 
Cheltnani.  Post  8°  Map.  pp.  x.  -|-  375.  London,  Richard 
Bentley  and  Son,  1871.  618 

The  English  translator  speaks  with  some  confidence  of  the  authenticity  and 
truthfulness  of  M.  Guinnard's  narration  of  the  incidents  of  his  captivity, 
and  I  am  inclined  to  believe  them  veritable,  but  it  lacks  so  notably  that 
Anglo-Saxon  simplicity,  which  marks  and  distinguishes  unalloyed  historical 
relations,  that  we  may  subject  it  to  an  unjust  suspicion.  With  true  French 
exaltation  of  style,  he  so  begilds  his  narrative,  as  to  give  his  true  story  the 
color  of  fiction.  It  is,  however,  a  very  valuable  collection  of  material  rela- 
tive to  the  habits,  religion,  and  mode  of  life  of  the  but  little  known  race  of 
savages  inhabiting  the  vast  Pampas  between  Buenos  Ayres,  Chili,  and 
Northern  Patagonia.

This  expedition  traversed  the  inhospitable  regions  of  Greenland  for  nearly 
three  years,  and  during  that  time  found  ample  opportunity  of  becoming  ac- 
quainted with  those  traits  of  character,  which  mark  its  aboriginal  inhabit- 
ants. The  narrative  will  not  disappoint  the  reader  greatly,  in  its  details  of 
the  dreary  life  of  these  residents  of  a  land  of  perpetual  winter,  if  he  but 
considers  that  it  is  the  product  of  an  antiquarian,  as  well  as  a  scientific  ex- 
pedition.

and  a  Spaniard.     By  Father  Joseph  Joaquin  Cranados  y  Galvez.] 

This  interesting  history  of  ancient  Mexico,  written  in  the  form  of  a  dialogue 
between  an  Indian  and  a  Spaniard,  and  divided  into  seventeen  "  Nights," 
is  very  little  known  in  Europe,  and  is  very  rare  in  Mexico.  The  author 
held  several  important  offices  in  the  latter  country,  among  which  was  the 
superintendence  of  the  Missions  among  the  Mexican  Indians,  which  even  a 
century  before  his  time  had  become  very  important  civil  as  well  as  religious 
institutions.  On  pp.  90  to  94,  will  be  found  a  fragment  of  Aztec  poetry, 
written  by  a  poet  of  the  euphonious  name  of  Notzahualcoyotl,  and  trans- 
lated into  Spanish  by  the  author.  One  of  the  most  curious  subjects  treated 
in  this  work,  is  that  of  the  Mexican  Calendar  with  the  names  of  the  days  in 
Mexican  and  in  Spanish.  On  pp.  141  to  150  are  given  the  Mexican  names 
of  the  kings  of  the  empire  of  Tescuco.

With  the  intensesit  Scotch  prejudice  against  everything  French,  he  speaks  in 
severe  terms  of  the  French  policy  towards  the  Indians.  Something  of  his 
animus  may  be  gleaned  from  the  subject-title  of  Chapter  iv.  :  "  Treacherous 
conduct  of  the  French  srovemment  with  regard  to  the  Indian  Nations,"  — 
"Absurd  accounts  of  the  Jesuit  Missionaries  relative  to  their  Success  in 
Converting  the  Indians."  At  the  same  time  he  calls  the  murderous  forays 
of  the  New  Englanders  upon  unoffending,  and  even  friendly  Indians,  in  re 
taliation  for  outrages  perpetrated  by  others,  "  imprudent  conduct  of  the 
Puritans."

Mr.  Rich  must  have  taken  this  title  orally  from  some  cockney,  as  he  speaks  of 
the  captive  as  Elizabeth  Anson.  "  The  captivity  took  place  in  1725,  and  a 
relation  of  it  made  in  1741  to  Samuel  Hopwood,  about  which  time  it  was 
probably  first  printed."  The  third  edition  was  printed  at  Danvers  in  1780, 
It  is  therefore  to  be  supposed  that  this  is  the  fourth.

Part  II.  of  this  work,  entitled  "  The  Wigwam,  the  Camp,  and  the  Church  ;  " 
commences  with  a  narrative  of  the  capture  of  the  reputed  ancestress  of  Elea- 
zer Williams  by  the  Indians  at  Deerlield,  her  marriage  to  an  Indian,  and  the 
fortunes  of  her  descendants,  until  the  subject  of  this  memoir  appears  in  the 
family. 

The  circumstances  attending  his  first  appearance  and  the  incidents  of  hia 
youth,  were  related  to  the  author  by  Skenondoah,  an  Oneida  chief,  who  was 
himself  a  half-breed,  his  father  being  an  Irishman  named  O'Ueal.  The  life 
of  the  missionary  among  his  reputed  aboriginal  kindred  is  minutely  related, 
taken  in  great  part  from  his  own  diary.  A  great  mass  of  evidence,  more 
traditional  than  circumstantial,  and  more  circumstantial  than  positive,  is 
educed  to  ])rove  Eleazer  Williams  to  be  the  son  of  Louis  XVI.  Mr.  Han- 
son's theory  of  the  causes  which  prevented  his  recognition  arc  summed  up  in 
the  statement  that  Williams  was  a  Protestant;  and  the  Catholics  who  only 
were  in  the  secret,  caused  his  rejection.

This  Journal  purports  to  have  been  only  revised  and  published  by  Mr.  Daniel 
Haskell,  but  he  is  said  to  have  introduced  religious  reflections  not  made  by 
the  author.  Harmon's  narration  of  events  among  and  peculiarities  of  the 
Indian  tribes  is  believed  by  those  familiar  with  him,  and  the  regions  he  vis- 
ited, to  be  correct ;  but  the  life  of  a  fur-trader,  dispensing  fire-water  to  the 
Indians,  while  daily  witnessing  the  murders  it  produced,  was  not  favorable  to 
religious  emotions.  Mr.  Haskell  makes  the  writer  reject  the  proffer  of  an 
Indian  concubine  by  her  father,  with  very  proper  pious  emotions  ;  but  Mr. 
Schoolcraft  intimates  that  the  latter  were  not  more  consonant  with  his  char- 
acter than  the  story  of  his  continence.  A  copious  vocabulary  of  the  Cree  or 
Knistenaw  language  is  given  on  pp.  385  to  413.  The  journal  of  events  in 
his  life  as  an  Indian  trader,  terminates  at  page  273,  and  two  subdivisions 
entitled  "  Account  of  the  Indians  living  East  of  the  Rocky  Mountains,"  and 
"  Account  of  the  Indians  living  West  of  the  Rocky  Mountains,"  are  evidently 
written  by  another  hand,  perhaps  from  Harmon's  dictation.

Harvey  (Henry). 

History  of  the  Shawnee  Indians,  from  the  year  1681  to  1854 
inclusive,  by  Henry  Harvey,  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends.

The  author  says  of  himself,  "  Having  for  a  number  of  years  been  engaged  in 
endeavors  to  ameliorate  the  condition  of  the  Shawnee  Tribe  of  Indians,  I 
have  become  very  much  attached  to  them,  on  account  of  a  near  intimacy 
with  them,  which  enabled  me  to  become  acquainted  with  the  character  of 
this  noted  and  very  interesting  people.  I  was  connected  with  them,  too,  at  a 
time  when  one  of  those  severe  trials  overtook  them,  of  which  the  Indians 
so  much  complain,  more  bitterly  by  far  than  they  do  of  the  most  desolating 
wars,  by  which  they  have  ever  been  visited, —  which  was  the  procuring  (the. 
xBresting  from  them)  their  reservations  of  land  at  Wa-paugh-kon-netta,  in  the 
State  of  Ohio,  containing  near  one  hundred  thousand  acres.  I  have  been  an 
eye-witness  to  most  I  have  related  in  regard  to  this  people,  and  in  all  my  in- 
tercourse have  ever  found  them  a  noble,  generous  hearted,  honest  and  ever 
confiding  people,  of  strong  minds,  powerful  intellect,  warmly  attached  to 
their  friends,  ever  true  to  their  word  in  matters  of  self  interest,  when  treated 
fairly,  and  patient  under  suffering."  If  the  story  of  the  wrongs  of  the 
Shawnees,  whose  high  character  is  attested  in  such  eloquent  language,  does 
not  stir  the  indignation  of  the  reader,  it  can  only  be  because  his  heart  is 
dead,  or  his  brain  torpid.  It  tempts  one  to  doubt  the  justice  of  God.  The 
work  is  one  of  the  most  simple  and  veritable  narrations  of  fects  relating  to 
the  Indians  ever  printed.  The  author  gives  us  in  the  first  138  pages,  a  history 
of  the  tribe  to  the  year  1812,  at  which  period  the  Society  of  Friends  under- 
took their  amelioration.  From  this  period  the  narrative  is  almost  entirely 
from  the  personal  observation  of  the  writer,  and  is  the  most  sadly  interesting 
that  can  be  conceived.

was  styled  by  the  Creeks,  Choctaws,  Chickasaws,  and  Cherokees,  the  Beloved 
Man  of  the  Four  Nations.  He  wrote  eight  volumes  of  material  relating  to 
the  history  of  the  various  Indian  tribes  with  whom  he  treated.  These  vol-

with  sketches  of  all  these  particulars  as  existing  in  the  Creek  nation.

In  this  book,  now  exceedingly  rare  and  highly  prized,  the  author  has  brought 
together  a  very  large  number  of  curious  fticts,  relating  to  the  origin  and 
character  of  the  natives  ot  his  State,  prior  to  the  settlement  by  the  whites. 
He  does  not  favor  the  hypothesis  of  great  antiquity  in  the  Indian  nations  of 
America,  and  believes  in  their  common  origin  with  the  Caucasian  race.  He 
describes  with  great  minuteness  and  care  the  relics  of  the  race  which  once 
inhabited  the  territory,  its  utensils,  skeletons,  crania,  and  fortifications,  most 
of  which  he  appears  to  have  personally  inspected.

This  work,  only  less  rare  than  the  Aboriginal  History  of  Tennessee  by  the 
same  author,  contains  a  large  portion  of  the  material  relating  to  the  border 
warfare  with  the  Indians,  narrated  in  the  last  mentioned  work.  The  specu- 
lative and  antiquarian  portions  and  descriptions  of  mounds  are  omitted  in 
this  volume,  but  the  story  of  Indian  conflicts  and  massacres  is  narrated  with 
greater  detail  and  minuteness,  filling  much  the  larger  portion  of  the  work. 
The  story  of  the  formation  of  the  State  of  Franklin,  and  the  civil  war 
which  ensued,  is  a  chapter  of  American  history  but  little  known,  and 
scarcely  exceeded  in  interest  by  any  other.

The  gloomy  details  of  this  dreadful  massacre,  lead  us  to  inquire  the  cause 
of  such  an  apparently  unexplainable  frenzy  for  slaughter.  Although  the 
author  affords  us  little  light  ujX)n  this  part  of  the  sad  history,  yet  from  other 
sources  we  discover  that  it  was  but  a  repetition  of  the  old  story,  of  the  red 
man  made  desperate  by  a  sense  of  unbearable  wrongs,  avenging  them  upon 
the  innocent.  Pushed  back  from  their  fertile  and  game-thronged  hunting- 
grounds,  to  sterile  lands  unfrequented  by  the  animals  upon  which  they  sub- 
sist, deluded  by  promises  of  annuities  which  fail  to  come,  while  their  wives 
and  children  perish  by  famine  or  cold,  the  unreasoning  savages,  made  furi- 
ous by  their  sufferings,  overwhelmed  the  innocent  German  settlers,  in  their 
tindistinguishing  thirst  for  blood.

well  as  others'  sufferings,  and  their  horrible  massacres  of  rival  tribes.  It  is 
to  a  most  singular  fortune  of  war,  that  we  owe  the  publication  of  this  inter- 
esting journal.  When  the  fort  on  Hudson's  Bay  was  surrendered  by  the  un- 
fortunate and  heroic  La  Perouse,  he  recommended  that  the  British  authorities 
should  cause  Hearne's  MS.  Journal  which  he  found  at  the  fort,  to  be  printed. 
He  declared  that  it  possessed  so  much  interest  that  he  had  read  it  with  the 
greatest  pleasure,  and  it  is  believed  that  a  copy  he  had  made  accompanied 
him  in  his  last  voyage.  Narrated  by  Albert  Gallatin,  and  confirmed,  as  Mr. 
Stevens  says,  in  the  prologomena  of  the  French  edition  of  Hearne.  Paris,

matter.  By  John  Heckewelder,  who  was  many  years  in  the 
service  of  that  Mission.  8°  Portrait  and  pp.  429.  Philadel- 
phia, published  hy  McCarty  ^  Davis,  1820.  678 

The  narrative  of  this  mission  is  a  history  of  the  noblest  labors  of  the  human 
race,  for  the  civilization  of  a  savage  people,  and  at  the  same  time  the  record 
of  the  most  horrible  crime  perpetrated  by  a  civilized  people  turned  savages. 
It  is  the  account  of  a  large  number  of  the  aborigines,  collected  into  a  com- 
munity ;  governed  by  all  the  refinements  of  a  gentle  and  admirable  humanity, 
sacrificed  to  the  brutal  and  cowardly  vengeance  of  a  murderous  mob.  Ninety 
Christian  men  and  women  with  their  children  were  slaughtered  and  scalped 
without  attempting  resistance,  to  revenge  the  outrages  of  Pagan  Indians 
whom  the  civilized  wretches  dared  not  attack.  The  massacre  was  terribly 
avenged  by  their  Pagan  kindred.  The  frontier  was  desolated  for  ten  years, 
and  the  Colonel  Crawford  who  was  present,  was  afterwards  burnt  at  the 
stake  in  avowed  retaliation  for  this  very  deed  of  blood.  Heckewelder's  nar- 
rative is  a  full  and  undoubtedly  faithful  record  of  all  the  details  of  the  Mis- 
sion, its  wonderful  success  and  its  appalling  destruction.  He  was  able  to 
give  a  thousand  particulars  from  personal  experience,  and  it  is  at  once  an 
interesting  story  abounding  in  veritable  incidents,  and  a  valuable  history, 
fortified  by  impregnable  facts. 

There  could  be  no  better  guarantee  of  the  value  of  a  treatise  on  the  American 
Indians,  than  the  names  of  Rev.  John  Heckewelder  and  Peter  S.  Duponceau. 
Forty  years  of  missionary  life  among  the  Delaware  and  Shawnese  tribes, 
had  amply  fitted  the  author  of  the  history  to  record  the  facts  which  fell 
under  his  own  knowledge.  Although  his  want  of  familiarity  in  ethnological 
and  philological  science,  have  caused  his  deductions  and  hypotheses  to  be 
somewhat  derided,  yet  it  must  be  conceded  that  his  statements  regarding  the 
history  of  the  aboriginal  tribes  with  which  he  was  personally  familiar,  are 
those  of  a  conscientious  and  faithful,  if  not  an  accurate  observer. 

It  is  unfortunate  for  us,  as  for  the  author,  that  his  history  was  written  at  a 
late  period  of  his  life  ;  and  that  when  it  was  suggested  to  him,  he  was  not 
prepared  with  notes  and  journals  written  during  his  long  period  of  service  as 
a  missionary.  The  first  six  chapters,  pp.  29-83,  are  occupied  with  the 
history  of  the  Indian  Nations  as  derived  from  tradition,  and  an  account  of 
the  various  tribes  which  inhabited  Pennsylvania.  Chapters  vi.  to  vii.,  pp. 
83  to  103,  are  devoted  to  "  General  Character,  Government,  and  Education 
of  the  Indians."  Chapters  ix.  to  xiii.  treat  of  "Languages  of  the  Tribes, 
Signs,  and  Hieroglyphics,  Oratory,  Metaphorical  Expressions,  and  Indian 
Names."  Chapters  xiv.  to  xviii.  are  entitled  "  Intercourse  with  each  other,

is  occupied  with  a  relation  of  their  domestic  and  public  life.

The  execution  of  this  work  could  hardly  have  fallen  into  more  worthy  or 
competent  hands.  Prepared  by  his  investigations  for  several  years  into  the 
documents  that  would  illustrate  his  Spanish  conquest  of  America,  Mr.  Helps' 
work  was  half  accomplished  when  designed.  The  apostle  of  the  Indians 
deserves  the  grandest  monument  which  human  genius  has  yet  conceived  for 
the  heroes  of  humanity.  He  was  not  satisfied,  like  many  of  his  priestly 
order,  with  the  salvation  of  the  souls  of  his  savage  flock;  he  constituted  him- 
self by  gigantic  eflferts  the  saviour  of  their  bodies.  In  accomplishing  this  he 
has  been  for  three  centuries  subjected  to  the  taunt  of  being  tlie  first  sug- 
gestor  of  African  slavery.  Mr.  Helps  most  irresistibly  refutes  that  slander ; 
and  adds  a  statement  which  will  account  for  the  malignity  of  the  aspersion ; 
"  Las  Casas  had,  it  may  be  fearlessly  asserted,  a  greater  number  of  bitter 
enemies  than  any  man  who  ever  lived."

tory  of  Slavery  and  to  the  Government  of  the  Colonies.  By 
Arthur  Helps.  Four  vols.  8°  London:  Parker,  Son,  and  Bown, 
1861.  682 

The  whole  of  this  noble  work  is  devoted  to  a  history  of  the  relations  of  the 
Indians  of  America  to  its  Spanish  invaders ;  and  the  effect  of  their  occupa- 
tion, and  conquest  upon  the  population,  religion,  and  manners  of  the  aborig- 
ines. The  various  narratives  and  histories,  which  describe  the  awful  destrqc- 
tion  of  many  Indian  nations  by  the  Spaniards,  are  criticised  with  true . 
philosophical  acumen,  and  the  veracity  and  capability  of  their  authors  fairly 
examined.  It  treats  the  whole  story  of  the  Indians  and  their  concjuerors, 
during  the  sixty  years  which  immediately  succeeded  the  discovery,  in  that 
continuous  narrative  style,  by  which  our  curiosity  is  aroused,  and  our  in- 
terest perpetuated,  without  losing  the  dignity  of  veracious  history.  The 
mind  of  the  learned  author  was  evidently  inspired  by  that  divine  spirit  that 
is  bom  only  of  the  wedlock  of  humanity  and  scholarship.  Every  page 
affords  evidence  of  historical  lore,  and  almost  every  sentence  glows  with  the 
warmth  of  his  philanthropy.

The  work  was  translated  and  printed  in  London,  1698,  as  above  described. 
But  there  is  an  English  edition  purporting  to  be  of  the  same  year,  with  an 
entirely  different  collation.  The  printing  of  this  edition  is  inferior,  the  type 
of  the  second  part  being  so  much  smaller  that  instead  of  228  pages,  it  has  but 
176.  At  the  end  of  this  part  is  an  additional  relation  commencing  with  page 
301,  and  ending  at  page  355.  Dr.  O'Callaghan  enumerates  twenty -three  edi-

It  has  been  the  fashion  until  late  in  this  age,  to  deride  the  work  of  Father 
Hennepin,  as  smacking  of  the  marvelous.  Indeed,  some  of  our  savants  have 
endeavored  to  prove  that  the  very  excellent  Father  Recollect  never  saw  any 
of  the  wonders  he  narrates.  Tliis  severe  criticism  proceeds  from  sources 
■which  entitle  him  to  the  benefit  at  least  of  a  doubt  of  Us  impartiality.  First. 
Father  Charlevoix,  who  cast  the  first  cloud  of  suspicion,  was  a  missionary 
priest  of  the  Jesuits,  who  were  at  one  time  under  the  ban  in  New  France 
through  the  influence  of  the  Recollects,  to  which  order  Father  Hennepin  be- 
longed. Second.  The  author  lost  the  support  of  his  own  brethren  of  the 
order  of  Recollects  by  neglecting  or  refusing  to  return  to  his  duties  in 
America  as  a  missionary.  He  accordingly  retired  to  Utrecht  in  Holland, 
where  in  1697  he  reprinted  his  book  published  at  Paris  in  1683  (some  copies 
have  the  date  of  1684).  In  the  course  of  the  next  year  it  was  reissued  as 
printed  at  Amsterdam  1698.  Mr.  Rich  places  the  date  of  1698  also  on  an 
edition  printed  at  Utrecht.  The  first  book  of  Father  Hennepin  is  entitled.

In  Part  I.  the  author  relates  the  incidents  of  his  life  as  a  fur-trader  among 
the  Indians  on  the  shores  of  the  upper  great  lakes ;  of  the  surprise  and  mas- 
sacre of  the  garrison  of  Fort  Michilimackinac,  of  his  own  narrow  escape 
from  the  slaughter,  and  his  capture.  His  narrative  of  the  details  of  his  long 
captivity  is  very  interesting,  and  has  been  deemed  the  most  authentic  we 
have,  relating  to  the  domestic  habits  of  the  northern  Indians.  Part  II.  is  a 
narrative  journal  of  travels  through  the  Indian  countries,  and  supplies  much 
additional  information  regarding  the  natives.

No  one  has  ever  disputed  the  fidelity  of  old  Herrera,  styled  the  Prince  of  His- 
torians, to  the  sources  of  information  then  accessible,  and  no  one  has  ever 
exceeded  him  in  careful  research,  and  interesting  nan-ation  of  aboriginal 
history.  He  sought  and  obtained  many  of  the  original  documents,  which  the 
industry  and  spirit  of  the  old  missionaries  and  explorers  made  so  numerous 
and  voluminous.  He  copied,  almost  bodily,  the  MS.  History  of  the  Indies 
by  Las  Ca.sas.  Mr.  Squire  notices  that  he  has  transferred  ahngst  the  entire 
MS.  Relacion  of  Palacio,  to  chapters  8,  9,  and  10  of  the  Eighth  Book  of  his 
Fourth  Decade.  His  work  is  a  perfect  treasure-house  of  the  most  valuable 
details,  regarding  the  original  state  of  the  religion  and  manners  of  the  In- 
dians. Of  Herrera,  Ternaux  says,  "  Among  the  historians  of  America  this 
author  holds  the  first  rank."  He  was  bom  in  1 6-50,  and  was  for  some  time 
secretary  of  the  Viceroy  of  Naples,  being  afterwards  appointed  Historiog- 
rapher of  the  Indies.  His  work  is  the  most  complete  of  all  those  which  we 
possess  upon  that  subject  of  the  epoch  it  embraces.  Herrera  incorporated 
into  his  work,  almost  the  whole  of  Garcilaso  de  la  Vega's  work.  La  Florida 
del  Inca.  It  is  unfortunate  for  the  student  of  history,  that  the  translation  is 
performed  with  the  same  unscrupulous  license  which  most  English  editors 
of  works  on  American  history  assumed  a  century  ago.  Captain  John 
Stevens  has  left  in  his  translation  a  monument  of  his  own  impertinent  vanity, 
in  the  liberties  he  has  taken  with  this  noble  history.  He  has  transposed, 
abridged,  and  interpolated,  and  thus  greatly  impaired  the  value  of  his  work, 
and  yet  it  is  the  best  translation  we  have  of  the  whole  of  Herrera.  Mr.  Henry 
C.  Murphy  considers  the  French  translation,  which  extends  only  to  the 
first  three  decades,  to  be  much  the  best,  as  it  is  so  exact  as  to  re])roduce  tlie 
original, — book  for  book,  chapter  for  chapter,  and  almost  phrase  for  phrase."

Narrative  of  the  Canadian  Red  River  Exploring  Expedition

don, 1860.  699 

Each  volume  has  a  half  title.  The  work  contains  twenty  colored  plates  of 
scenery  and  portraits  of  the  aborigines,  and  seventy-six  wood-cuts  of  the 
same  in  the  text,  and  eleven  colored  maps  and  plans.  During  this  explorar 
tion,  Mr.  Hind  lived  almost  constantly  among  the  Crees  and  Chippeways, 
whose  habits  and  peculiarities  he  was  most  eager  to  study,  and  prompt  to 
record.  Everything  in  their  life  had  not  only  the  charm  of  noveltj',  to  him. 
but  as  a  man  of  science,  he  was  anxious  to  observe  all  the  facts  which  may 
prove  stepping-stones  in  tracing  their  origin  and  their  history.  Besides  the

Hind  (Henry  Youle). 

Explorations  in  the  interior  of  The  Labrador  Peninsula,  the 
Country  of  the  Montagnais  and  Nasquapee  Indians,  by  Henry 
Youle  Hind.  In  Two  Volumes.  8"  Vol.  L  pp.  xv.  +  351.

London,  1863.  700 

All  that  Mr.  Hind  undertakes,  is  done  so  thoroughly  that  little  more  could  be 
indicated,  to  complete  the  exhaustion  of  his  subject.  All  the  peculiarities 
of  the  aboriginal  races  of  Labrador,  which  a  stranger  would  be  permitted  to 
observe,  he  noted.  We  are  enabled  to  see  how  the  territory,  swept  of  its 
animal  tenants  to  furnish  the  white  man  with  skins  and  furs,  has  become  no 
longer  capable  of  furnishing  its  savage  inhabitants  with  food  ;  how  the  un- 
happy Indian  has  been  pushed  towards  the  frigid  zone  until  he  has  reached 
a  point  beyond  which  human  constitutions  are  unfitted  for  enduring  its 
rigors,  and  how  thus,  from  want  of  the  wild  food  his  wild  habits  and  tastes 
demand,  the  aborigines  have  dwindled  to  a  handful. 

Mr.  Hind's  volumes  are  almost  entirely  occupied  with  incidents  of  Indian  life 
and  character,  particularly  of  the  Montagnais,  Abenakis,  and  Esquimaux 
Indians.  The  engravings  are  illustrative  of  scenes  in  aboriginal  life,  or  of 
their  customs,  features,  and  other  peculiarities. 

Chapter  xxvii.,  pp.  96  to  111,  of  vol.  II.,  is  entitled,  "The  Nasquapees,  or 
the  people  standing  upright."  Chapter  xxviii.,  pp.  112  to  124,  has  the 
heading,  "  The  present  Condition  of  the  Montagnais  Indians."  "  The 
Labradorians,"  is  the  subject  of  Chapter  xxx.,  pp.  1.50  to  166,  in  which  the 
habits  and  character  of  the  Esquimaux  are  illustrated.  "  The  Koman 
Catholic  Missions  of  the  Labrador  Peninsula,"  is  the  title  of  Chapter  xxxi., 
pp.  167  to  180.  In  the  Appendix  No.  I.,  the  Indians  of  the  Youcon  are 
the  subject  of  a  report  by  the  Rev.  W.  W.  Kirby.  "  The  Esquimaux  of 
Anderson's  River,  is  the  subject  of  Appendix  No.  IV.  "  Census  of  the 
Indian  Tribes"  of  No.  V.     "Indian  Races  north  of  the  Cree  hunting-

grounds,"  of  No.  VI.  And  "  Moravian  Missions  among  the  Esquimaux," 
of  No.  VII.,  all  of  which  occupy  pp.  254  to  266.  Although  these  particular 
sections  of  the  work  upon  aboriginal  affairs  are  cited,  yet  it  must  be  said 
that  the  whole  work  is  a  great  repository  of  facts  relating  to  them.

The  numerous  incidents  of  personal  intercourse  with  Indians  of  various  west- 
em  tribes,  the  interesting  details  which  the  author's  ardent  curiosity  re- 
garding them  drew  from  persons  familiar  with  their  life  and  habits,  and 
the  voluminous  notes  appended  to  these  volumes,  extracted  from  works  not 
easily  accessible,  entitle  them  to  a  high  rank  in  aboriginal  literature.

This  little  volume  is  one  of  that  limited  number  which  disappoints  us  with 
its  brevity.  The  very  interesting  incidents  of  border  warfare  at  the  River

All  of  these  essays  display  a  degree  of  learning  and  refinement,  which  we 
shall  look  for  in  vain,  to  find  bestowed  on  this  vexed  question  in  later  days.

Pages  1  to  120  are  occupied  with  a  Journal  of  a  Mission,  as  it  was  termed, 
among  the  Indians  of  Ohio.  It  is  in  fact  a  narrative  of  the  incidents  of  a  visit 
of  a  committee  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  to  the  Miamis  and  Pottawatomies. 
It  is  filled  with  interesting  details  of  these  tribes,  with  some  historical  partic- 
ulars relating  to  the  defeat  of  St.  Clair,  not  elsewhere  printed.  The  Appen- 
dix, occupying  the  last  seventy-eight  pages,  is  a  collection  of  additional 
incidents  of  the  same  tour,  from  the  manuscripts  of  George  Ellicott,  who 
accompanied  friend  Hopkins,  not  less  valuable  as  historical  mateiial,  than 
the  Journal. 

The  work  was  first  printed  in  the  Friend's  Intelligencer,  at  the  request  of 
Mathcw  Tyson,  in  order  to  recall  the  somewhat  dormant  interest  of  the 
Society  of  Friends  to  the  state  of  the  Indians.  Martha  E.  Tyson,  his 
daughter,  added  the  Appendix  ;  and  prepared  the  whole  for  printing  in  its 
present  shape,  at  the  expense  of  her  father  and  brother.  It  was  never  offered 
for  sale,  but  all  the  copies  were  presented  to  Friends  and  others  interested  in 
Indian  affairs.

book  brought  fifty  and  even  sixty  dollars.  )Vith  other  objects  of  fashion  of

ance and  vexation  upon  Franklin,  from  the  creditors  Penet  swindled.  He 
fixed  himself  sometime  after  among  the  Oneidas,  where  he  proved  an  equal 
torment  to  the  excellent  missionary  Kirkland,  got  large  grant  lands  from 
the  credulous  Indians,  and  again  absconded.

This  is  the  original  of  Hubbard's  Present  State  of  New  England,  being  a 
Narrative,  Sfc,  in  every  respect  except  the  wording  of  the  title,  the  table  of 
errata,  and  the  errors  m  the  text.  It  has  remained  a  matter  of  some  doubt 
whether  the  London  edition  is  not  complete  without  the  map,  as  the  one  in 
the  few  copies  possessing  it,  has  been  found  so  often  to  correspond  perfectly 
with  the  one  in  the  American  edition  announced  as  "  the  first  ever  printed 
in  this  country ;  "  and  may  have  been  inserted  from  the  other  edition. 

I  have  seen  two  copies  of  the  map  varying  so  much,  as  to  prove  almost  be- 
yond doubt,  that  there  were  two  editions  of  it,  as  well  as  of  the  text.  To 
establish  this,  so  far  as  to  defy  skepticism,  I  caused  a  photolithographic  copy 
of  one  to  be  made,  to  place  beside  the  other.  The  third  line  of  the  title  in 
one  edition  ends  with  the  word  "done;"  in  the  other  that  line  terminates 
with  the  word  "  by."  In  one  the  fourth  line  ends  with  "  being,"  in  the  other 
with  "  in  ;  "  fifth  line,  "  less,"  fifth  line  of  the  other  with  "  exact."  Of  the 
six  remaining  lines  only  two  end  similarly.  In  the  centre  of  the  right  hand 
side  of  the  map,  the  "  Wine  Hills  "  of  one  copy  are  the  "  White  Hills  "  of 
the  other.  There  arc  several  other  slight  discrepancies,  particularly  in  the 
number  of  plate  lines  which  form  the  shading. 

It  is  evident,  therefore,  that  one  of  these  editions  of  the  map  was  executed  for 
the  London  edition  of  the  text.     We  have  only  internal  evidence  to  direct

us  in  determining  this  fact,  and  no  bibliographer  would  hesitate  to  declare 
that  the  one  executed  in  the  best  manner  is  the  one  engraved  in  London. 
It  is  evident,  on  the  slightest  inspection,  that  this  is  the  one  having  "  Wine 
Hills  "  engraved  below  the  title  in  place  of  "  White  Hills  "  as  in  the  other 
more  rudely  executed  one.  In  the  first,  the  letters  are  more  perfectly  formed, 
the  shading  is  finer,  and  the  lines  representing  the  ocean  sharper,  clearer, 
and  more  tlian  twice  the  number  of  the  other. 

A  still  more  curious  discrepancy  exists  between  copies  of  the  text  of  the  Bos- 
ton edition.  There  is  evidence  in  the  table  of  errata  on  the  last  page,  that 
there  were  two  issues,  if  not  two  Boston  editions,  bearing  date  1677.  I  have 
two  cojties  of  that  date,  precisely  similar  in  every  respect,  except  that  the 
errata  in  one  occupies  ten  lines,  and  in  the  other  twelve.  It  is  probable  that 
after  some  copies  had  been  disseminated,  other  errors  were  discovered,  and 
two  lines  of  corrections  added.  Another  peculiarity  of  the  Boston  edition,  of 
less  consequence,  is  the  error  in  pagination  from  pages  84  to  92.  Pages  84, 
86,  88,  and  90,  are  not  numbered  at  all,  while  pp.  85,  87,  89,  91,  and  92,  are 
numbered  84,  85,  86,  87,  and  88,  respectively. 

The  London  edition  lias  no  errata,  which  is  so  remarkable  a  feature  in  that 
printed  in  Boston.  Mr.  Hubbard  printed  in  the  Boston  edition  an  apology, 
commencing  "  The  Printer  to  the  Reader.  By  reason  of  the  Author's  long 
absence  from  the  Press,  many  faults  have  escaped  in  the  printing,  etc."  This 
is  omitted  in  the  London  edition,  which  is  comparatively  free  from  the  errors 
indicated,  is  printed  on  better  paper,  and  the  typography  greatly  superior. 
In  both  editions  the  title-page  is  preceded  by  a  recommendation  of  the  work 
signed  by  Simon  Bradstreet,  Daniel  Denison,  and  Joseph  Dudley,  and  dated 
March  29, 1677  ;  immediately  following  this  on  the  same  page  in  the  London 
edition,  is  the  license  signed  Roger  L' Estrange,  June  27,  1677.  Thus  it  will 
be  seen  that  the  longest  period  which  could  have  elapsed  between  the  print- 
ing of  the  two  editions,  was  three  months ;  a  period  entirely  too  short  for 
the  work  to  be  printed  in  Boston,  sent  across  the  ocean,  and  printed  in  Lon- 
don, when  we  consider  the  great  length  of  the  voyages  at  that  day.  It  is 
probable  that  the  first  part  of  the  work  was  printed  nearly  simultaneously, 
and  from  manuscript,  in  both  places.  The  first  poem,  addressed  to  the  Rev. 
William  Hubbard,  is  signed  J.  S.,  which  is  conjectured  to  mean  the  Rev. 
Jeremiah  Shepherd  of  Lynn.  The  second  poem,  signed  B.  T.,  is  supposed  to 
have  been  written  by  Benjamin  Trumbull. 

In  both  editions  "  A  Narrative  of  the  Troubles  "  begins  with  page  1  and  ends 
with  page  115,  but  in  the  London  edition  "  A  Supplement  Concerning  the 
War  with  the  Pequods  "  commences  on  p.  116,  while  in  that  printed  in 
Boston,  that  page  is  blank,  and  the  "Supplement"  begins  on  page  117. 
"  A  Table  shewing  the  Towns,"  etc,  begins  in  the  London  edition  on  the 
132d,  in  the  other  on  the  133d  page.  The  Table  and  Postscript  in  the  Lon- 
don, occupy  13  unnumbered  pp.,  which  in  the  Boston  edition  occupy  14  pp., 
the  first  eight  unnumbered,  and  the  last  six  erroneously  numbered  7  to  12, 
while  they  should  be  9  to  14. 

But  it  is  in  the  last  division  of  the  book  that  the  coincidence  is  so  striking, 
that  the  h3'pothesis  of  both  editions  having  been  printed  entirely  from  man- 
uscript, seems  almost  untenable.  Both  have  the  same  title  occupying  the 
upper  half  of  page  one.  "  Narrative  of  the  Troubles  with  the  Indians  of 
New  England,  From  Pascataqua  to  Pemmaquid."  Both  commence  in  the 
middle  of  page  1 ,  and  end  at  the  seventeenth  line  of  the  88th  page.  They 
have  the  same  number  of  lines  on  the  page,  and  have  the  same  catch  words 
on  every  page  except  the  first,  and  even  the  words  printed  in  Italics  in  one, 
are  exactly  repeated  in  the  same  letter  in  the  other.  The  title  of  this  section 
is  printed  in  the  London  with  large  type,  while  the  same  division  heading, 
is  in  small  and  mean  letters  in  the  Boston  edition.  The  lower  half  of  page 
88,  in  this  last  edition,  is  occupied  with  errata,  which  in  the  other  is  entirely 
wanting. 

The  remarkable  coincidences  of  typographical  execution  in  the  last  88  pages, 
and  the  almost  simultaneous  printing  in  the  distant  capitals  of  old  and  New

England,  will  always  continue  as  now,  sources  of  surprise  and  conjecture. 
The  work  is  exceedingly  rare,  complete  with  the  map,  and  in  good  condi- 
tion ;  and  preference  is  given  to  the  one  printed  in  Boston.  The  latest  sold 
in  this  country  was  purchased  at  the  sale  of  Mr.  John  Rice's  library,  for  one 
hundred  and  eighty  dollars.  The  Kev.  William  Hubbard  was  the  minister  of 
Ipswich,  Mass.,  where  he  died  September  14th,  1704,  aged  eighty-three.  He 
was  remarkable  in  an  age  and  country  of  bigots,  for  his  liberality,  moderation, 
and  piety.  His  narrative  has  been  regarded  for  two  hundred  years  by  his- 
toriaus  as  a  standard  of  authority.  It  is  sometimes  accompanied  bv  a  tract 
bound  in  the  same  volume,  entitled  The  Happiness  of  a  People  in  the  Wisdome 
of  their  Rulers,  etc.,  a  sermon  preached  in  Boston.  Printed  by  John  Forster, 
lfi76,  a  year  previous  to  the  publication  of  the  Narrative.  It  was  reissued 
with  the  Narrative,  although  an  entirely  separate  publication.  The  second 
edition  of  the  Narrative  was  printed  in  Boston,  1775,  in  24°,  much  altered 
and  abbreviated.  The  third  at  Worcester,  1801,  in  24°.  Three  editions  in 
1802  and  1803,  at  three  different  localities.  In  1834  in  4°.  The  best  reprint 
is  that  of  Mr.  S.  G.  Drake,  in  two  octavo  volumes,  with  numerous  notes. 
The  Rev.  William  Hubbard  was  bom  in  England  in  1621,  and  emigrated  at 
the  age  of  fourteen  to  New  England.  He  wrote  a  History  of  New  England, 
which  remained  in  manuscript  for  nearly  a  century  and  a  half,  or  until  1815, 
when  it  was  printed  bv  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society.  In  1848  the 
History  was  reprinted  in  the  Historical  Collections  of  that  Society,  forming 
Vols.  V.  and  VI.  of  the  second  series.  His  narrative  seems  to  have  excited 
the  envy  of  the  Rev.  Increase  Mather,  who  wrote  and  published  two  books 
on  the  same  subject.

This  tract  is  frequently  bound  in  with  Hubbard's  History  of  Indian  Wars, 
of  which  it  is  believed  never  to  have  formed  a  part,  having  been  printed  a 
year  previously.  As  it  is  however  so  often  found  appended  to  the  Narrative, 
collectors  have  not  felt  that  work  to  be  complete,  unless  associated  with 
the  sermon.

uniform  with  Pouchot'a  Memoirs.

This  book  is  the  narration  of  one  of  those  attempts  to  found  a  viceroyalty,  in 
a  distant  and  unexplored  territory,  which  smacks  of  the  romance  and  chival- 
ric  enterprise  of  the  old  Spanish  adventurers.  In  1810,  two  expeditions, 
having  the  common  object  of  establishing  a  settlement  on  the  Pacific,  left 
New  York.  The  one  by  sea,  sailed  on  board  the  ill-fated  Tonquin,  which 
with  its  master  and  crew  fell  into  the  vengeful  hands  of  the  savages  on  the 
northwest  coast.  The  other  passed  over  the  same  route  which  Sagard  and 
Hennepin  traversed  —  the  Ottawa  River,  and  along  the  string  of  small  lakes  to 
Mackinaw,  and  then  onward  to  St.  Louis.  From  thence  the  expedition  en- 
tered upon  the  realms  of  savage  life,  and  for  a  year  fought  or  negotiated  its 
way,  through  nation  after  nation,  and  tribe  after  tiibe,  of  crafty  and  hostile 
Indians.  The  details  of  its  progress,  pictured  with  the  warm  coloring  of 
Washington  Irving's  pen,  rivals  the  stately  march  of  I)e  Soto,  or  the  equally 
adventurous,  and  more  pacific  exploration  of  La  Salle.  The  narrative  is 
crowded  with  incidents  of  Indian  subtlety  or  ferocity,  as  well  as  with  de-

It  is  fortunate  for  the  memory  of  the  great  millionaire  Astor,  that  his  at- 
tempt to  establish  the  first  American  settlement  on  the  Pacific  coast,  found 
such  a  historian.  Irving  has  done  much  more  to  perpetuate  the  fame  of  his 
friend  than  any  act  of  his  own  life,  or  even  the  reputation  of  possessing  the 
greatest  wealth  acquired  in  a  single  lifetime  could  aflbrd. 

Irving  (Waslungton). 

The  Adventures  of  Captain  Bonneville  in  the  Rocky  Mountains 
and  the  Far  West.  Digested  from  the  Journal  of  Captain  B. 
L.  E.  Bonneville  of  the  army  of  the  United  States  and  illus- 
trated from  various  other  Sources,  by  Washington  Irving.  12" 
Two  vols.   pp.  248  and  248.     New  York,  1847.  762 

Captain  Bonneville  was  an  officer  of  the  United  States  army  who  had  seiTcd 
for  several  years  on  the  frontier,  where  the  service  required  constant  associa- 
tion with  the  Indians,  either  in  making  peace  or  war.  Instead  of  becoming 
satiated  with  the  incidents  of  a  frontier  life,  Bonneville's  imagination  was  so 
fired  with  the  relations  of  trappers  and  fur-traders,  of  the  wonders  of  the 
Plains  and  Rocky  Mountains,  that  he  obtained  the  permission  of  the  au- 
thorities to  undertake  their  exploration.  His  journal  of  the  incidents  and 
adventures  of  his  wonderful  journey,  is  not  less  interesting  as  a  narrative 
than  valuable  as  a  history.  The  perils  his  party  survived,  perils  from  the 
elements,  from  starvation,  and  hostile  tribes  of  Indians,  would  seem  the  off- 
spring of  an  ingenious  imagination,  were  they  not  authenticated  by  the  word 
of  honor  of  a  gentleman,  who  satisfied  the  fastidious  judgment  of  Washing- 
ton Irving,  with  the  veracity  of  his  statements.  The  book  is  crowded  with 
descriptions  of  the  savage  tribes  of  the  unexplored  regions  bordering  the 
Rocky  Mountains,  with  sketches  of  their  warriors  and  chiefs,  with  accounts 
of  skirmishes  with  their  war  parties,  and  the  marvelous  adventures  of  fur- 
trappers  among  the  Indians,  whom  their  own  atrocities  had  made  their  ene- 
mies.

Everything  relating  to  aboriginal  life  or  manners,  had  an  attraction  for  Wash- 
ington Irving  which  he  could  not  resist.  The  hardy  fur-trapper,  with  his 
trusty  rifle,  and  his  dusky  bride,  scorning  with  the  fierce  pride  of  independ- 
ence the  sweets  of  civilization  ;  the  wild  warrior  of  the  plains,  in  his 
swift  foray  on  the  herds  of  the  civilized  intruders  on  his  domains,  or  in 
bloody  invasion  of  a  neighboring  tribe,  all  had  for  the  author  a  warm  color- 
ing which  he  loved  to  paint.  It  is  of  such  scenes,  blended  with  the  softer 
traditions  of  Indian  lore,  and  dreams  of  the  better  land,  this  book  is  com- 
posed. Irving  eagerly  seized  the  opportunity'  olfered  by  a  government  mis- 
sion to  the  Pawnees,  of  observing  for  himself  tiie  peculiarities  of  a  savage 
race ;  and  of  what  he  saw  he  has  made  the  most  charming  picture  ever 
painted  of  its  life.

The  object  of  this  expedition  was  of  a  higher  humanitarian  order,  than  those 
which  the  government  has  usually  organized  for  Indians  affairs.  Under  its 
direction  there  had  been  settled  on  lands  claimed  by  the  fierce  tribes  of  the 
Plains,  those  unfortunate  victims  of  civilization,  the  remnants  of  the  Dela- 
wares  and  other  eastern  nations.  The  wild  savages  of  the  great  prairies 
reserited  this  forced  intrusion,  in  their  simple  distrust  not  reckoning  that 
their  red  brethren  were  exiles,  driven  from  their  homes  by  a  power  which 
would  soon  press  them  from  their  own  hunting  grounds.  Between  the  ex- 
iles and  the  natives  arose  a  fierce  warfare,  and  over  the  debatable  ground 
was  (ought  many  a  bloody  battle.  It  would  have  been  in  conformity  with 
the  gruedy  policy  of  the  white  man,  to  permit  the  unsophisticated  savages  to 
mutually  exterminate  each  other,  and  thus  leave  the  land  free  for  the  specu- 
lator. It  was,  however,  to  induce  peaceable  relations  between  these  warring 
tribes,  that  the  government  sent  out  Mr.  Elsworth  as  its  commissioner.  Mr. 
Irving  accompanied  the  expedition,  and  his  work  affords  us  many  interesting 
incidents  of  savage  life.  The  work  abounds  in  such  fragments  of  the  tradi- 
tions, history,  and  peculiarities  of  the  Indian  tribes  of  the  Plains  as  the  op- 
portunity offered  the  author.  The  method  of  dealing  with  a  savage  nation 
to  induce  it  to  forego  its  savage  instincts  (ending  as  usual  in  a  surrender  of 
its  land),  is  fully  detailed  in  the  work.

Indians,  the  bloody  battles  between  them  and  the  Spaniards,  and  the  obsti- 
nate resistance  of  the  populous  and  thriving  nations  of  savages,  through 
which  De  Soto  and  his  devoted  band  passed,  are  not  more  historically  val-

quaint  language  of  the  original  authors.

kings  of  Tezcuco,  in  Mexico,  wrote  many  very  learned  works  of  great  estima- 
tion, upon  the  antiquities  of  his  nation,  in  which  he  was  profoundlv  versed. 
Among  these  were  llie  liistorij  of  New  Spain;  The  History  of  the  C/ucemecas  ; 
An  Historical  Compendinin  of  the  kingdom  of  Tezcuco;  and  Some  Historical 
Memoirs  of  the  Tultecas  and  other  Nations.  Dr.  Cabrera  says  that  Ixtlilxo- 
chitl  was  so  cautious  in  what  he  wrote,  that  in  order  to  remove  all  suspicion 
of  invention  or  fiction,  he  caused  a  document  to  be  executed  in  legal  form, 
authenticating  his  narrative,  as  perfectly  coiTesponding  to  the  relations  in

Chicemecas  was  first  printed  in  the  ninth  of  Kingsborough's  great  volumes, 
in  the  Spanish  language.  Ternaux  Compans  translated  the  work  into  the

and  Travels.

by  F.  do  A.  Ixtlilxochitl.  Supplement  to  the  history  of  Father  Sahagun 
and  published  by  C.  M.  Bustamente  in  Mexico,  1829.] 

Bustamente,  the  Mexican  editor,  gives  an  account  of  thirteen  noble  Indians, 
who  wrote  memoirs  and  histories  of  their  country,  in  both  Aztec  and  Span- 
ish. Ixtlilxochitl's  entire  work,  which  remained  in  MS.  until  brought  to 
light  by  Bustamente,  comprehended  three  relations,  and  commenced  at  the 
most  ancient  period  of  the  history  of  his  race.  Bustamente  and  Ternaux 
published  only  the  third,  which  narrated  the  conquest  of  Mexico. 

All  his  works  were  preserved  in  MS.  in  the  library  of  the  Jesuits'  College 
in  Mexico,  and  guarded  by  the  Spaniards  with  great  jealousy  until  that 
power  lost  its  hold  on  the  country.  The  authenticity  of  the  history  is  cer- 
tified on  page  386  of  the  fourth  volume  of  the  manuscript,  in  the  Mexican 
archives  before  the  notary  Ortiz,  in  1608,  by  eleven  principal  officers  who  attest 
that  it  conforms  with  the  Aztec  records,  painted  by  the  native  historians  with 
which  it  had  been  compared.  The  only  questionable  statement  evolved  in 
its  perusal,  is  that  this  royal  Tescucan  historian  makes  his  countrymen  so 
often  heroic,  and  deserve  victory  if  they  did  not  achieve  it.

The  strange  fate  which  led  this  border  warrior  from  the  silent  forests,  prowled 
only  by  angry  savages  or  by  the  scarcely  less  savage  frontiersmen,  to  die  in 
the  crowded  city,  and  lie  within  a  few  feet  of  the  ceaseless  sounding  of  the 
million  feet  which  tread  Broadway,  is  not  less  remarkable  than  the  fortune 
which  befell  his  memory  when  dead.  Made  the  object  of  the  hatred  and 
detestation  of  the  civilized  world,  by  Jeiferson's  publication  of  Logan's  speech, 
he  has  not  lacked  for  three  quarters  of  a  century  the  warmest  and  most  active 
defenders  of  his  memory,  from  the  charge  which  has  made  him  infamous. 
Captain  Cresap,  worn  down  with  anxiety  and  ill  health,  did  not  hesitate  to 
collect  a  company  of  his  fonnidable  riflemen,  and  marched  to  aid  his  coun- 
trymen at  the  siege  of  Boston.  He  however  was  only  able  to  reach  New  York, 
where  he  died  in  October,  1775,  and  was  buried  in  Trinity  church-yard.

James  (Edwin). 

Narrative  of  the  Captivity  and  Adventures  of  John  Tanner  (U. 
S.  Interpreter  at  the  Saut  de  Saint  Marie),  during  Thirty  Years 
residence  among  the  Indians,  in  the  interior  of  North  America. 
Prepared  for  the  Press  by  Edwin  James,  M.  D.  Editor  of  an 
Account  of  Major  Longs  Expedition  from  Pittsburgh  to  the 
Rocky  Mountains.  8°  pp.  426,  and  portrait.  New  York,  G. 
8f  C.^  H.  Carvill,  1830.  772 

The  editor  of  this  work  obtained  the  material  for  its  construction  from  the 
lips  of  John  Tanner,  a  captive  white  who  had  resided  among  the  Indians  for 
thirty  years.  Mr.  James  was  a  man  of  much  information  upon  Indian 
affairs,  and  must  have  been  able  to  discriminate  between  the  probable  and 
the  uncertain  portions  of  Tanner's  narrative.  The  renegade  himself  (for  he 
had  during  his  long  sojourn  among  the  Indians  become  even  more  savage 
than  they)  was  a  person  of  retentive  memory  and  fair  intelligence.  His 
relation  of  his  life  among  the  Northern  Indians,  is  probably  the  most  minute 
if  not  authentic  detail  of  their  habits,  modes  of  living,  and  social  customs, 
ever  printed.  The  perils  and  privations  in  which  they  constantly  exist,  the 
tribal  distinctions,  and  family  associations  and  quarrels,  the  hunter's  painful 

■  struggles  to  overmatch  the  cunning  and  instinct  of  the  animals  upon  which 
he  must  feed  or  starve,  and  the  labor  of  the  squaws,  alternated  with  days  and 
weeks  of  gnawing  famine,  awaiting  his  return,  are  all  minutely  and  vividly 
related.  The  details  of  Tanner's  captivity,  given  in  his  own  language  as  it 
fell  from  his  lips,  are  related  by  him  in  the  first  person,  pages  23  to  281.  Part 
IL  pp.  282  to  293,  is  entitled  "  Indian  Feasts."  On  pages  294  to  312,  is  given  a 
"  Catalogue  of  Plants  and  Animals  Found  in  the  Country  of  the  Ojibbeways," 
with  their  Indian  names.  Whenever  the  English  name  could  be  ascertained, 
it  is  also  given.   Next  follows  a  catalogue,  also  in  Cliippeway,  of  the  Totums

among  the  Ottawas  and  Ojibbeways,  with  their  description  in  English,  occn- 
pyiiig  pp.  314  to  316.  "  Knowledge  of  Astronomy,"  is  the  title  of  a  division 
of  the  work,  extending  over  pp.  316  to  323.  A  comparison  of  Chippeway 
numerals  with  nearly  fifty  other  American  dialects,  occupies  pp.  324  to  .333. 
On  pp.  341  to  381,  are  given  a  large  collection  of  songs  in  the  Indian  lan- 
guage, with  their  English  translation  in  parallel  lines,  and  the  hieroglyphic 
signs,  or  rather  pictographs  of  these  chants.  Chapter  iv.  occupying  pp.  382 
to  426,  is  entitled  "Languages  of  the  American  Indians,"  of  which  by  far  the 
largest  portion  is  filled  with  a  cojnous  vocabulary  of  words  and  phrases  in 
the  Ottawa  and  Chippeway  languages.  Dr.  James  is  said  by  Schoolcraft  to 
have  been  imposed  upon  by  Tanner,  whom  Mr.  Schoolcraft  declared  to  be 
"more  suspicious,  revengeful,  and  bad  tempered  than  any  Indian  he  ever 
knew."  After  the  publication  of  Tanner's  narrative,  the  people  of  St. 
Mary's  were  accustomed  to  call  him  the  Old  Liar.  This  so  enraged  him 
against  Dr.  James,  that  he  made  efforts  to  kill  him,  for  printing  what  those 
accquainted  with  him  called  lies.  Schoolcraft  was,  however,  strongly  preju- 
diced against  Tanner,  who  had  assaulted  himself,  and  who  in  1846,  actually 
murdered  James  Schoolcraft,  his  brother,  by  shooting  him  from  behind  a 
cedar  thicket.  The  renegade  then  fled  back  to  the  hills  of  the  upper  lakes. 
During  his  residence  in  a  civilized  community  he  had  married  a  white  girl, 
who,  unable  to  endure  his  brutality  longer  than  a  year,  fled  from  him  and 
was  divorced.  Mr.  James  was  also  the  editor  of  Long's  Expedition  to  the  Source 
of  the  Mississippi.

This  is  the  first  edition  in  which  the  Appendix  relating  to  the  murder  of 
Logan's  family  by  Captain  Cresap,  was  announced  on  the  title-page,  having 
been  first  printed  in  1800,  as  an  answer  to  the  charge  that  Jeflferson  had  in- 
vented the  narrative  in  the  Notes  to  cover  the  alleged  literary  imposture  of 
Logan's  speech.  The  number  of  books  and  pamphlets  to  which  this  charge 
against  Captain  Cresap  gave  birth,  is  already  scarcely  computable.  Of  thig 
Appendix  some  copies  were  printed  separately,  under  the  title  of  An  Appendix 
to  the  Notes  on  Virginia  relative  to  the  Murder  of  Logan's  Family.  By  Thomas

Jkwett  (John  R.). 

A  Narrative  of  the  Adventures  and  Sufferings  of  John  R.  Jew- 
ett  only  survivor  of  the  crew  of  the  Ship  Boston  during  a  cap- 
tivity of  nearly  three  years  among  the  Savages  of  Nootka  Sound 
with  an  account  of  the  Manners,  Mode  of  living  and  Religious 
opinions  of  the  natives.  Illustrated  with  a  plate  representing 
the  ship  in  possession  of  the  Savages.  12"  pp.  203  -|-  2  plates. 
Middletown,  printed  by  Loomis  Sf  Richards,  1815.  777 

The  narrative  of  Jewett's  captivity,  was  written  by  Richard  Alsop,  of  Middle- 
town,  Connecticut,  author  of  several  books  of  poems,  and  translator  of  Molina's 
History  of  Chili.  The  details  of  the  adventures  of  Jewett  were  drawn  from 
him  by  the  indefatigable  queries  of  Alsop,  who  after  some  years  declared 
that  he  feared  he  had  done  Jewett  but  little  good,  in  furnishing  him  with  a 
vagabond  mode  of  earning  a  livelihood,  by  hawking  his  book  from  a  wheel- 
barrow through  the  country. 

The  nan-ative  of  Jewett  affords  us  many  new  and  interesting  particulars  of 
the  life  and  habits  of  the  most  savage  of  American  aborigines.  It  is  probably 
as  faithful  a  portrayal  of  them  as  could  be  made  by  an  unlettered  man,  after 
the  lapse  of  several  years.  A  vocabulary  of  the  Nootka  language,  containing 
nearly  one  hundred  words,  occupies  page  4.

are  the  most  astonishing  relation  of  sufferings  in  the  holy  cause  of  religion, 
and  of  the  persistent  cruelties  of  a  savage  race,  ever  written.  They  afford  us 
the  most  intimate,  as  they  do  the  most  authentic  account  of  the  character  of 
the  Mohawks,  that  we  are  now  cognizant  of  But  our  gratification  in 
perusing  these  valuable  relics  of  a  race  now  extinct,  is  almost  overpowered 
by  the  wonder  blended  with  horror,  which  we  feel  at  the  gigantic  fortitude, 
and  the  awful  sufferings  of  this  unconquerable  hero  missionaiy.  From  the 
period  of  his  captivity,  to  his  escape  through  the  humanity  of  the  good  Dutch 
pastor  Megapolensis,  and  his  reception  by  Queen  Anne  of  France,  who  kissed 
with  reverence  his  mutilated  hands,  to  his  return  to  the  Mohawk  lands,  and 
final  martyrdom  by  that  tribe,  we  read  with  bated  breath  and  unabated  in- 
terest.

have  disgraced  the  name  of  humanity.  He  relates  in  Chapters  xix.,  xxi.,  and

Moiuiniental  Remains  of  Georgia,  by  Charles  C.  Jones,  Jr. 
Part  First.  8°  pp.  117.  Savannah,  John  M.  Cooper  and  Com- 
pany, 1861.  795 

This  work  is  the  result  of  a  personal  examination  of  the  aboriginal  monu- 
ments of  Georgia,  aided  by  such  fortuitous  circumstances  as  seldom  fall  to 
the  lot  of  the  explorer.  1  hese  were,  the  existence  of  great  numbers  of  unex- 
plored mounds  near  his  residence,  the  possession  of  sufficient  means  to  pro- 
vide the  manual  Jabor  for  their  exploration,  and  a  large  provision  of  the  taste 
and  7,eal  for  archa;ological  discoveries,  which  only  can  give  the  requisite  en- 
durance of  the  tedious  and  often  fruitless  labor.  Whatever  Colonel  Jones 
commences  to  investigate,  he  is  satisfied  with  nothing  less  than  completeness, 
of  which  quality  of  mind,  his  works  are  sufficient  evidence.

The  large-minded  and  heroic  Indian  chief,  who  welcomed  Oglethorpe  to  the 
lands  of  his  nation,  and  fed  and  protected  the  infant  colony  during  those 
early  years,  when  disease  and  the  Spaniards  threatened  its  existence,  well 
deserved  a  biography.  No  hero  of  the  colonies  of  North  America,  even  the 
loud  boasting  Captain  John  Smith,  the  zealous  yet  humane  Roger  WilliamS, 
or  the  noble  Oglethorpe  himself,  better  deserved  an  enduring  monument  than 
Tomo-Chi-Chi.  The  qualities  of  mind  which  he  possessed,  would  have  added 
honor  to  many  of  the  great  names,  recorded  in  the  annals  of  the  early  settle- 
ments of  our  country.  Mr.  Jones  has  done  full  justice  to  his  subject,  by  for- 
tifying the  facts  of  his  biography  with  undoubted  authorities.  Some  particu- 
lars of  the  life  of  this  chief,  with  his  portrait,  may  be  found  in  the  UJsperger

The  first  Introduction  was  an  author's  puerile  whim.  Having  once  conceived 
this  precious  piece  of  absurdity,  his  parental  affection  for  it  would  not  per- 
mit him  to  throw  it  entirely  aside,  and  accordingly  while  he  prints  it  in  the 
initial  pages  of  his  book,  on  pp.  i.  to  xxxiii.,  he  adds  another  Introduction, 
also  numbered  pp.  i.  to  xxviii.,  in  which  he  soberly  informs  us  that  this  time 
he  is  telling  the  truth.  In  the  second  Introduction  (the  first  being  taken  to 
be  pure  fiction),  he  informs  us  that  he  spent  liis  boyhood  among  the  Gayhead 
Indians  of  Martha's  Vineyard  Island,  and  heard  their  stories  of  Indian 
ghosts  and  witches.  In  after-life  he  strolled  among  the  Cherokees,  Creeks, 
Chickasaws,  Shawnees,  and  Chippeways,  of  whom  he  set  all  the  idle  brains 
to  work  inventing  tales  for  his  note-book.  He  asserts  a  firm  belief  in  them 
for  himself,  and  solemnly  asserts  that  the  many  weird  and  dreary  hobgoblin 
stories  he  narrates,  are  the  veritable  emanations  of  aboriginal  annalists.  In 
the  last  thirteen  pages  of  his  second  introduction,  Mr.  Jones  gives  the  sources 
of  a  large  number  of  his  traditions,  and  of  these  it  may  be  said  that  the  ori- 
gin was  from  such  respectable  authorities,  that  they  may  be  taken  as  repre- 
sentative of  the  characteristics  of  the  Indian  intellect  and  emotions.  The 
copious  and  numerous  notes  scattered  through  the  volumes  upon  Indian  his- 
tory and  customs,  have  also  an  authenticity,  which  entitles  them  to  respect.

Stockbridge,  in  Massachusetts,  wsvs  the  residence  of  the  Stockbridge  Housa- 
tonic  Muh-he-ka-ne-ok  (Mohegan)  Indians.  They  were  called  by  the  Eng- 
lish, '  River  Indians,'  a  fair  translation  of  their  name,  which  signified  "  The 
people  of  the  ever  flowing  waters." 

In  Section  II.  entitled  "  Indian  History,"  the  authoress  reproduces  a  fragment 
of  a  work  said  to  be  written  by  the  Indian  "  Captain  Hendrick  Aupaumut." 
It  consists  of  ten  closely  printed  pages,  of  very  valuable  information  regard- 
ing the  habits  and  mode  of  life  of  the  Stockbridge  Indians.  Section  III.  is 
entitled  "  Further  particulars  relating  to  Manners,  Customs,  Religion,  etc.," 
and  Section  IV.,  "  Language  of  the  Muh-he-ka-ne-ok."  Sections  V.  to  XIX. 
are  entirely  occupied  with  a  history  of  the  Missions  among  the  tribe  until 
1785,  when  it  removed  to  Madison  County  in  New  York,  upon  a  tract  of 
land  donated  to  them  by  the  Oneidas,  as  a  mark  of  gratitude  for  their  aid  in 
the  Revolutionary  War,  during  which  the  latter  were  threatened  with  de- 
struction by  the  Senecas.  Chapters  xx.  and  xxi.  narrate  their  removal  to 
New  Stockbridge,  and  Chapters  xxiii.  and  xxiv.  their  emigration  again  to 
Lake  Winnebago.  Their  fourth  removal  in  1848  to  Minnesota,  to  which 
they  were  driven  by  the  greed  of  speculators,  aided  by  an  unscrupulous  and 
faithless  government,  is  narrated  in  Chapter  xxv.  Sections  XXVI.  and 
XXVII.  are  entitled  "  Biographical  Notices  of  Indians,  and  of  Individuals 
engaged  in  the  Stockbridge  Missions."

M.  de  Nouaille.] 

This  expedition  against  the  Chicasaw  Indians,  embarked  from  New  Orleans 
about  the  first  of  August,  1739,  with  one  hundred  and  forty  men,  having  lost 
by  the  terrible  fever,  fifty-eight  of  its  number,  besides  leaving  seventy  in  the 
hospital.  They  proceeded  in  eight  bateaux  up  the  Mississippi.  On  the  11th 
of  October,  reinforced  by  one  hundred  and  ninety  French,  from  Canada,  and 
three  hundred  Indians,  principally  Iroquois,  the  expedition  departed  from  Fort 
Assumption  near  Memphis.  From  that  time  the  commander,  Mr.  Bienville, 
was  embarrassed  with  the  number  of  the  savages,  who  offered  to  accompany 
him.  Thus  the  poor  Indians  were  induced,  by  the  gratification  of  their 
mutual  hatred,  to  destroy  each  other.  In  1736,  the  Chicasaws  had  defeated  the 
French,  with  a  loss  of  one  hundred  and  twenty  men,  in  an  attack  upon  their 
fort,  and  the  French  had  induced  the  Choctaws,  then  so  powerful  as  to  be 
able  to  raise  four  thousand  warriors,  to  make  war  upon  the  Chicasaws,  but 
they  had  also  been  driven  back.  Mr.  Bienville  was  fortunate  enough  on  this 
occasion,  through  the  intrepidity  of  Lieut.  St.  Laurent  (who  went  alone  to 
the  Chickasaw  tort),  to  make  a  lasting  peace  with  this  warlike  nation.

The  same  as  the  edition  of  1714,  with  a  new  title. 

In  accordance  with  the  somewhat  questionable  honesty  of  the  English  pub- 
lishers of  the  period,  this  book  was  produced  as  a  new  work  in  1719,  although

it  differs  from  that  of  1714,  in  nothing  except  the  title.  The  edition  of 
1719  is  believed  to  have  been  published  without  the  map.  I  have  seen  two 
copies  at  least  without  evidences  of  their  having  ever  poss3ssed  it.  The  cu- 
rious relation  of  Joutel,  was  the  last  which  the  public  received  of  the  unfor- 
tunate expedition,  in  which  La  Salle  perished.  It  was  written  by  one  of  the 
companions  of  that  celebrated  traveller,  who  seems  to  have  been  the  oiiljr  one 
on  whom  La  Salle  could  rely.  Joutel  was  fortunate  enough  to  render  him 
some  important  services.  The  original  edition  of  this  work,  was  printed  at 
Paris  in  1713,  one  year  prior  to  the  first  English  publication.

The  author,  after  four  yeai-s  study  of  art  in  Europe,  returned  to  Canada  filled 
with  the  determination  to  fulfill  an  early  formed  design  of  executing  a  series 
of  drawings,  of  scenes  in  Indian  life.  To  accomplish  this,  he  traversed, 
almost  alone,  the  territories  of  the  Red  River  Settlement ;  the  valley  of  the 
Saskatchewan  ;  across  the  Rocky  Mountains,  down  the  Columbia  River  ;  the 
shores  of  Puget  Sound,  and  Vancouver's  Island.  The  book  is  a  transcript 
of  his  daily  journal,  thrown  into  the  narrative  form ;  and  the  beautiful 
engravings  are  copies  of  the  labors  of  his  pencil.  It  is  an  interesting  col-

the  regions  over  which  he  passed.

Although  the  explorations  to  the  Arctic  Regions  have  all  had  for  their  object 
the  discovery  of  an  open  channel  between  the  two  great  oceans,  or  the  relief 
of  the  survivors  of  Sir  John  Franklin's  expedition,  yet  the  aboriginal  tribes 
which  inhabit  those  gloomy  regions  have  always  attracted  a  large  share  of 
tlie  attention  of  the  explorers.  A  great  part  ot  these  volumes  of  Dr.  Kane, 
is  occupied  with  descriptions  of  the  Esquimaux,  portraits  of  their  women  and 
principal  men,  and  illustrations  of  scenes  in  their  life.

The  author  narrates  in  this  work,  the  incidents  of  a  campaign  against  the  In- 
dians of  the  Plains,  in  which  the  usual  military  role  of  fighting  the  Indians 
when  they  were  best  prepared,  was  not  adhered  to.  General  Sheridan  as- 
sailed them  in  the  depth  of  winter,  when  the  resources  which  make  them  so 
difficult  to  find  or  overtake  were  unavailable.  A  winter's  campaign  upon  the 
ocean  wastes  of  the  prairies,  skirmishes  with  the  savage  enemy,  and  at  last 
a  great  battle  with  the  despairing  tribes,  cooped  up  in  a  frozen  plain,  with 
details  of  some  bloody  massacres,  afford  a  sufhcient  scope  for  the  writer,  who 
seems  to  have  given  us  a  faithful  and  accurate  narrative  of  them.

This  curious  medley  contains,  besides  the  "  Letter  concerning  the  Indians,"  oc- 
cupying the  first  thirty-two  pages,  the  most  surprising  narrative  of  captivity, 
and  sufferings  among  them  ever  printed.  It  is  entitled,  —  Paper  IV.,  "  A  true 
Relation  of  the  unheard  of  Sufferings  of  David  Menzies,  Surgeon,  among  the 
Cherokees,  and  of  his  Surprising  Deliverance."  It  is  the  personal  narration 
of  the  captive  himself,  and  bears  the  marks  of  veritability,  from  accurate  local 
references.

The  personal  visits  of  the  author  to  various  tribes  of  Indians,  and  the  oral  in-

An  absurd  preface  which  assures  us  of  the  veritability  of  the  author's  nar- 
ration, and  at  the  same  time  begs  us  to  excuse  what  shall  be  proved  false;  a 
puerile  account  of  his  childhood  in  the  first  chapter,  and  an  occasional 
attempt  to  throw  a  sentimental  and  melodramatic  glow  over  his  narrative,  do 

'  not  establish  a  perfect  confidence  in  its  historic  truthfulness.  In  the  seventh 
chapter  he  commences  an  account  of  his  adventures  among  the  Indians  west 
of  the  Mississippi,  which  he  continues  through  the  twelve  succeeding  ones,  or 
from  pp.  90  to  192.  If  it  is  history,  it  is  intolerably  like  fiction  ;  and  if  it  is 
a  romance,  it  has  too  much  resemblance  to  history  to  be  amusing.

Although  the  author  announces  in  his  second  edition,  that  it  is  extended  as 
well  as  revised,  yet  on  comparison  it  will  be  found  that  the  revision  consisted, 
in  excluding  from  it  the  narrative  of  Manheim's  and  others'  captivity  which 
was  printed  in  the  first  edition,  as  well  as  the  chapter  on  slavery,  a  subject 
which  ill  the  interval  of  seventeen  years,  could  not  be  safely  treated  in  the 
manner  of  the  author,  for  which  he  substituted  a  chapter  on  the  Revolution  in 
the  second.  Mr.  Brantz  Maver  says,  "  Some  liberties  have  been  taken  with  Mr.

This  narrative  of  the  sufferings  and  devotion  of  a  Revolutionary  hero,  hitherto 
but  little  known  to  the  people  whose  cause  he  espoused,  is  entirely  devoted 
to  the  ininutise  of  seven  years'  residence  among  the  Micmacs,  Maracheets, 
Passammaquody,  and  Penobscot  Indians,  during  which  he  acted  as  their 
chief  or  superintendent,  and  influenced  their  neutrality  during  the  conflict. 
The  eastern  settlements  of  New  England,  in  consequence,  entirely  escaped 
the  massacre  and  conflagration  which  desolated  the  Mohawk  and  Wyo- 
ming valleys.  His  Journals  kept  with  great  minuteness,  and  the  letters  and 
documents  sent  to  the  Indians,  with  those  dictated  and  signed  by  them,  form 
the  great  bulk  of  the  volume.  They  are  most  interesting  memoirs  of  the  life 
and  character  of  those  tribes,  which  are  the  last  remnants  of  the  powerful 
nations  which  once  controlled  the  territory  of  New  England.

King  (Richard). 

Narrative  of  a  Journey  to  the  Shores  of  Arctic  Ocean  in  1833, 
1834,  and  1835,  under  the  Command  of  Capt.  Back,  R.  N.  By 
Richard  King,  Surgeon  and  naturalist  to  the  Expedition.  In 
Two  Volumes.  Vol.  I.  pp.  xviii.  -f-  312  -|-  1  plaie  ;  Vol.  II.  pp.

Dr.  King's  narrative  is  full  of  the  details  of  Indian  life,  as  it  was  presented  to 
the  members  of  Captain  Back's  expedition.  He  looked  at  the  same  transic- 
tions  with  the  natives,  and  the  same  phases  of  their  character  which  Captain 
Back  portrays,  from  a  different  point,  and  their  coloring  to  his  eye  bears  an- 
other tinge.    His  journal,  filled  with  descriptions  of  interviews  with  the  Chip-

pewyans,  Crees,  Dog-Ribs,  and  Esquimaux,  is  therefore  exceedingly  inter- 
esting even  after  the  perusal  of  Captain  Back's  narrative.  Although  every 
chapter  is  largely  devoted  to  incidents  associated  with  the  natives,  and  anec- 
dotes illustrative  of  their  character,  Dr.  King  yields  the  whole  of  Chapter 
xii.  to  an  examination  and  relation  of  the  present  condition  of  the  tribes  in- 
habiting the  Hudson's  Bay  territories. 
The  Doctor  does  not  attempt  to  conceal  the  chagrin  he  felt,  at  the  cool  ab- 
sorption of  his  own  careful  researches  in  the  narrative  of  Captain  Back.  In 
the  splendid  work  of  that  really  eminent  explorer,  there  ap])ears  a  little,  and 
but  a  little  of  that  want  of  generosity  which  the  i-elation  of  Dr.  King  insin- 
uates. Both  give  the  most  minute  narrations  of  the  peculiar  traits  of  the 
Northern  Indians,  their  destructive  wars,  their  wasting  from  disease,  and 
famine,  and  debauchery,  all  of  which  are  directly  traceable  to  their  communi- 
cation with  the  whites.  Dr.  King,  however,  finds  in  them  traces  of  some  of 
the  nobler,  as  well  as  the  more  tender  emotions,  the  possession  of  which 
Captain  Back  somewhat  superciliously  derides.  Dr.  King  very  justly  re- 
minds him  that  the  gallant  Captain  owed  his  life,  and  that  of  his  entire 
party,  to  the  devotion  and  self-denial,  through  two  long  starving  winters,  of 
the  Chippewyan  chief  Akaitcho.  This  remarkable  Indian  deserves  an  hon- 
orable fame.  While  his  tribe  in  common  with  himself  were  starving,  he 
shared  with  Captain  Franklin  in  his  two  expeditions,  and  with  Captain  Back 
in  a  third,  the  scanty  food,  which  his  superior  hunter-craft  enabled  him  to 
obtain,  when  the  duller  white  reason  failed.  Captain  Franklin  would  never 
have  sailed  upon  his  fateful  voyage,  but  for  the  humanity  of  Akaitcho,  as  he 
would  have  perished  of  starvation  on  his  first  exploration.

This  edition,  having  an  index,  is  superior  to  the  others  in  that  respect;  a  work 
of  this  size  uix)n  the  Jesuit  missions  in  America,  could  scarcely  be  more  than 
a  collection  of  annals  of  the  Society  of  Jesus,  or  much  more  than  a  chrono- 
logical statement  of  their  establishment  and  effects.  The  gigantic  opera- 
tions of  this  society,  reaching  from  the  great  lakes  of  Canada  through  almost 
every  tribe  of  savages  to  Patagonia ;  their  wonderful  success  in  Christian- 
izing whole  nations,  in  forming  missionary  establishments  which  became 
hierarchies,  in  combining  these  until  thej'  became  kingdoms  with  priests  for 
monarchs,  could  only  be  told  in  many  volumes  of  folios.  The  story  of  the 
martyrdoms  of  Jesuit  missionaries  among  the  Indians,  would  alone  fill  a 
book  much  greater  than  this.  Father  Kip's  work  is  composed  of  the  jour- 
nals and  letters  of  missionaries,  among  which  is  the  very  interesting  and  ini' 
portant  account  of  the  massacre  at  Fort  George,  by  Father  Roubaud.

eminent  German  traveller  Mr.  Kohl,  has  given  one  of  the  most  exhaustive 
and  valuable  treati8es  on  Indian  life  ever  written.  It  is  wholly  the  result  of 
personal  experience,  and  one  which  only  the  most  fervent  scientific  zeal  and 
earnest  self-abnegation,  as  well  as  a  very  high  order  of  intelligence,  could 
produce.  He  surrendered  all  the  repugnances  to  filth,  barbarism,  and  ex- 
posure with  which  civilization  and  self-indulgence  invest  us,  to  live  inti- 
mately and  confidentially  with  the  Indian  tribes  around  Lake  Superior. 
He  endeavored  to  penetrate  the  thick  veil  of  distrust,  ignorance,  and  super- 
stition which  conceal  the  mind  of  the  Indian,  and  learn  the  innate  traverses 
of  thought  which  give  motive  to  his  soul.  How  well  he  succeeded,  every 
one  will  know  who  commences  to  read  his  book,  for  its  interest  will  compel 
him  to  finish  it.

The  principal  interest  of  these  volumes  is  found  in  Chapters  ii.  and  iii.  of  Vol. 
II.,  pp.  8  to  96,  in  which  the  author  gives  an  account  of  the  prominent  char- 
acteristics of  the  Caribs,  the  last  surviving  remnant  of  whom  on  the  island 
of  Martinique  he  visited  in  1694.  The  destruction  of  the  race  had  proceeded 
so  far  at  that  time  that  he  found  only  forty-seven  persons  alive.  Since  then 
the  last  of  the  tribe  has  disappeared.

This  learned  essay  upon  the  origin  of  the  American  Indians,  was  ^vr^tten  to 
refute  the  arguments  of  Hugo  Grotius,  who  controverted  the  theory  of  their 
Scythian  descent.  In  1642,  Grotius  maintained  that  the  Indians  oi"  America 
north  of  Yucatan  derived  their  origin  from  the  Norwegians,  who  emigrated 
by  way  of  Iceland,  Greenland,  and  Labrador.  That  Yucatan  was  peopled 
fi"om  Ethiopia,  he  established  from  some  rumor  which  had  reached  him  of 
their  practice  of  circumcision.  That  Pern  was  populated  by  the  Chinese, 
he  finds  proof  from  their  worship  of  the  sun,  their  architecture,  and  their 
laws,  which  he  confirms  by  repeating  some  tradition,  which  he  fathers  upon 
Herrera,  of  the  wrecks  of  Chinese  vessels  found  on  the  coast  of  Patagonia. 
Lastly,  he  asserts  the  origin  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  southerly  portions  of 
South  America,  in  the  natives  of  New  Guinea,  and  the  Moluccas.  Laet  con- 
troverted these  theories  in  the  treatise  first  printed  in  1643,  and  effectually 
demolishes  most  of  the  arguments  of  Grotius,  by  proving  the  statements  on 
which  they  were  founded  to  be  fallacious.  On  the  ruins  of  his  antagonist's 
theoretic  structures,  Laet  erected  a  hypothetical  edifice  quite  as  frail.  The 
Canaries  afforded  a  convenient  half-way  station,  and  having  read  in  Pliny  that 
the  remains  of  ancient  buildings  had  been  seen  on  some  islands  on  the  coast 
of  Africa,  he  thinks  the  Spaniards,  troubled  by  the  Carthaginians,  modeled 
some  vessels  after  those  of  their  enemies,  sailed  to  the  Canaries  and  subse- 
quently drifted  to  Brazil,  which  they  peopled.  Laet  inclines  also  to  credit 
the  story  of  Prince  Madoc's  Welsh  immigration,  and  argues  favorably  to  its 
adoption.  He  however,  gives  the  greatest  credence,  to  the  hypothesis  of  the 
Scythian  population  of  ISorth  America,  and  labors  hard  to  establish  it.  He 
also  thinks  it  probable,  that  the  Pacific  Islands  contributed  to  populate  the 
western  coasts  of  South  America.  Grotius,  in  a  treatise  printed  in  1643, 
replied  with  much  more  hauteur  than  logic ;  and  with  scarcely  any  addition 
of  argument.  To  this  Laet  responded  with  his  second  treatise  entitled,  Re-

[Manners  of  the  Savages  of  America  compared  with  those  of  Ancient  Times. 
By  Father  Lafitau  of  the  Order  of  Jesuits.  The  work  enriched  with  many 
engravings  on  copperplate.] 

Lafitau  gives  very  extended  and  very  exact  details  of  the  customs,  manners, 
and  religion  of  the  savages  of  America,  though  principally  of  the  Indians  of 
Canada.  He  knew  well  the  subject  of  which  he  treated,  as  his  acquaintance 
with  Indian  customs  was  acquired  by  having  lived  a  long  time  among  the 
Iroquois.  Charlevoix  says  :  "  We  have  nothing  so  exact  upon  the  subject  of 
which  he  treats.  His  parallel  of  ancient  nations  with  the  American  Indians 
is  very  ingenious,  and  exhibits  as  great  familiarity  with  the  nations  of  antiq- 
uity in  the  Old  World,  as  with  the  aborigines  of  the  new." 

The  author  undertook  in  his  lengthy  treatise  upon  the  American  Indians,  to 
prove,  from  the  similarity  of  their  customs  with  those  of  the  ancient  nations 
inhabiting  northern  and  central  Asia,  that  they  must  be  the  descendants  of 
emigrants  from  Tartary.  He  is  confident  that  although  it  may  be  proved 
in  time  that  the  two  continents  do  not  quite  connect  their  lands,  yet  that 
the  arm  of  the  sea  separating  them  will  prove  so  narrow,  that  it  could  have

offered  bat  little  obstacle  to  the  crossing  of  the  Tartar  horde,  which  peopled 
America.  Aside  from  all  the  designs  of  proving  the  probability  of  this 
hypothesis,  the  work  is  a  j^rand  cyclopa;diu  of  Indian  history,  and  customs  at 
that  dat«.  The  numerous  engravings,  although  most  of  them  remind  us  of 
De  Bry.  are  finely  executed  illustrations  of  aboriginal  life  and  peculiarities.

The  work  of  La  Hontan  has  not  received  the  amount  of  credit  to  which  it  ia 
reallv  entitled,  although  written  by  a  man  of  more  than  ordinary  learning 
and  intelligence.  Had  he  written  no  other  work  than  the  New  Voyages,  it  is' 
probable  that  it  would  have  experienced  no  lack  of  esteem,  but  his  Relations 
even  when  scrupulously  exact,  have  felt  the  malign  influence  of  the  skepti- 
cism and  infidelity  which  he  infused  into  his  subsequent  work,  Dialogues  be- 
tween the  A  iithor  and  a  Sauvage.  The  present  work  is  a  translation  of  his  Voy-

210  Indian  Bibliography. 


The  first  work,  New  Voyages  to  N.  A.,  occupies  the  whole  of  Vol.  I.  of  the 
translation,  and  pp.  1  to  89  of  Vol.  II.  "  A  Conference  or  Dialogue  be- 
tween the  Author  and  Adario,"  occupies  pp.  90  to  183.  "  Voyages  to  Portu- 
gal and  Denmark,"  pp.  18.5  to  286.  And  on  pp.  287  to  303,  is  "A  Short 
Dictionary  of  the  most  Universal  Language  of  the  Savages,"  being  a  vo- 
cabulary of  the  Algonquin  tongue. 

The  Voijoges  are  almost  wholly  devoted  to  a  description  of  the  manners,  cus- 
toms, domestic  habits,  and  method  of  warfare  of  the  Indians  of  Canada. 
All  of  the  nineteen  plates  are  illustrative  of  the  same  characteristics  of  the 
savages. 

The  Baron  La  Hontan  went  to  Canada  in  1683,  when  only  sixteen  years  old, 
and  remained  in  that  country  nearly  twenty  years.     He  was  required  by  his 

f)atron  to  write  to  him  a  detailed  statement  of  the  affairs  of  the  colony  in  his 
etters,  as  a  recognition  of  the  yearly  assistance  he  received  from  him.  In 
this  correspondence  he  did  not  flatter  the  priests,  and  imputed  the  evils 
which  the  colony  suifered  from  the  war  with  the  Iroquois  to  their  counsels. 
Becoming  aware  that  steps  were  being  taken  by  the  Governor  of  Newfound- 
land to  send  him  a  prisoner  to  France,  he  fled  to  Portugal  and  thence  to 
England.  He  says  in  his  Preface,  that  had  the  King  of  France  restored  him 
to  his  offices,  he  would  have  given  his  book  to  the  flames.  But  the  rich  and 
powerful  ministers  Pontchartrain  were  inexorable,  and  in  consequence  the 
book  was  printed.  He  asserts  that  the  Dialogue  which  has  generally  been 
viewed  as  a  fiction,  is  a  true  and  faithful  relation  of  conversations  held  with 
a  Huron  Indian  named  The  Rat.  La  Hontan  showed  his  MS.  notes  of  the 
various  reflections  and  sentiments  of  the  Huron  to  Count  Frontenac,  who 
was  much  pleased  with  them,  and  aided  him  in  stripping  them  of  their  met- 
aphorical dress.  This  unfortunate  meddling  with  the  savage  phraseology 
has  also  stripped  the  Dialogue  of  all  its  authenticity  and  value.  La  Hontan 
was  in  England  while  these  volumes  were  printing,  and  in  consequence  of 
his  supervision  they  are  more  correct  than  the  French  edition.

The  dramatical  part  of  the  work  is  probably  imaginary.  The  traits  of  the 
savages  are  doubtless  fairly  illustrated  in  its  course,  but  it  was  used  as  a

A  not  inconsiderable  number  of  pamphlets,  were  printed  soon  after  the  period 
of  th'sc  Massacres,  to  exculpate  the  murderers,  or  to  incriminate  them. 
Some  of  these  bloody  men,  afterwards  aided  in  the  destruction  of  Salem,  and 
Gnadenhutten,  when  nearly  one  hundred  Christian  men,  women,  and  children 
were  inhumanly  slaughtered. 

The  work  is  little  more  than  a  sermon,  interspersed  with  historical  sketches 
of  the  events  which  led  to,  and  attended  the  dreadful  massacre  of  the  Chris- 
tian Indians,  by  the  dastardly  wretches  called  Paxton  Boys,  whose  coward- 
ice had  made  them  ferocious.

perience of  a  delicate  woman,  the  survivor  of  the  massacre  of  a  train  of 
emigrants  to  Idaho,  in  her  captivity  among  the  savages.  She  combines  with 
her  own,  the  narrations  of  several  captives  who  escaped  or  were  ransomed.

[D.  Bartholomew  de  Las  Casas  Bishop  of  Chiapas,  a  man  learned  in  every 
class  of  science;  his  wise  Examination  of  the  Question  whether  kings  and 
princes  have  the  right  to  dispose  of  their  Subjects  to  other  powers.  Never 
before  treated  at  such  length,  by  any  learned  men.  Published  by  Wolfgang 
Griesstetter.    Frankfort,  1571.) 

This  piece  of  Las  Casas'  was  not  included  in  his  Spanish  works,  first  issued 
in  1552-53,  and  has  never  been  printed  in  Spain  (Stevens).  It  is  even 
more  rare  than  the  other  pieces  of  Las  Casas  which  are  so  seldom  reunited. 

The  Works  of  Las  Casas  —  the  first  Catholic  priest  ordained  in  America,  the 
first  advocate  of  the  abolition  of  American  Slavery,  the  Apostle  to  the  In- 
dians —  deserve  from  their  intrinsic  excellence  as  well  as  the  excessive  rarity 
of  the  original  editions,  an  extended  bibliographical  notice. 

For  more  than  three  hundred  years,  there  has  been  known  to  exist  in  one  or 
more  libraries  of  Europe,  a  series  of  treatises,  written  by  one  of  the  com- 
panions of  Columbus,  who  survived  his  friend  the  discoverer,  more  than 
sixty  years.  Of  all  the  names,  associated  with  the  discovery  and  conquest 
of  America,  that  of  the  author,  Don  Bartholomew  do  Las  Casas,  is  second 
in  eminence  only  to  that  of  Columbus.  The  treatises  consist  of  nine,  or  by 
some  notations  (when  the  Caita  is  separated  from  the  Brevissima  Retacion), 
of  ten  small  quarto  volumes,  whose  rarity  has  caused  more  than  one  of  their 
number  to  be  unknown  to  the  collectors  and  editors  of  his  works.    Three 


216  Indian  Bibliography. 


nearly  complete  series  of  the  original  editions  of  Las  Casas's  treatises,  are 
gathered  in  as  many  private  libraries  of  Brooklyn ;  and  two  in  those  of 
New  York. 

It  is  probable  that  so  great  a  number  do  not  exist  in  any  country  in  Europe. 
No  public  library  in  America  claims  to  possess  the  whole  series.  Even  so 
early  as  1646,  within  one  hundred  years  after  the  date  of  their  first  publica- 
tion, an  edition  entitled  Las  Obras  de  B.  de  Las  Casas,  contained  only  six 
of  the  ten  treatises;  and  when  in  1822,  Llorente  printed  his  audacious  para- 
phrase of  them,  under  the  title  of  CoUeccion  de  las  Obras  dd  Venerable  Obispo 
de  las  Casas,  with  a  French  edition  entitled  Oeuvres  de  Las  Casas  (each  pub- 
lished in  two  volumes,  8°  Paris,  1822),  he  only  used  the  same  number  as  the 
basis  of  his  work. 

In  fact,  it  is  altogether  probable,  that  Llorente  never  saw  the  originals,  and 
knew  of  Las  Casas'  works  only  by  the  edition  of  1646.  In  America,  six 
private  libraries  possess  the  original  edition  of  Las  Casas'  treatises  nearly  or 
quite  complete.  These  are,  the  collections  of  the  Hon.  Henry  C.  Murphy, 
J.  Carson  Brevoort,  T.  W.  Field,  of  Brooklyn.  James  Lenox,  S.  M.  L.  Bar- 
low, of  New  York,  and  John  Carter  Brown,  of  Providence. 

Mr.  Brevoort's  copy  was  obtained  at  the  sale  of  the  Emperor  Maximilian's 
library  in  Leipsic,  1 869.  A  curious  incident,  illustrative  of  some  of  the  pecu- 
liarities of  book  collecting,  occurred  in  connection  with  the  sale  of  this  copy. 
Order  had  been  transmitted  by  this  gentleman,  and  the  writer,  to  different 
agents  for  its  purchase.  So  that  at  the  distance  of  four  thousand  miles,  we 
were  made  to  compete  for  its  possession,  until  it  reached  five  hundred  francs. 
The  career  of  the  author  of  these  distinguished  treatises,  was  not  less  eminent 
than  varied.  Born  in  Seville  in  1474,  Las  Casas,  at  the  age  of  twenty-four, 
accompanied  Columbus  in  his  third  voyage  to  America,  in  1498,  and  was 
the  first  priest  ordained  on  the  soil  of  the  New  World.  This  event  took 
place  in  San  Domingo  in  1510,  where  he  sang  the  first  new  mass,  ever  cele- 
brated, on  a  Continent  now  containing  20,000,000  Catholics.  Every  career, 
which  ambition  could  incite  to  attain,  or  self  interest  prompt  him  to  seek, 
was  open  and  possible  to  him ;  yet  he  chose  the  humble  self  abnegation  of 
a  priest.  The  scenes  of  bloodshed  which  he  narrates  in  his  works,  have 
thrilled  the  world  with  horror  for  more  than  three  centuries. 

Judging  from  circumstances  attending  their  composition,  internal  evidences, 
and  the  dates  of  their  titles,  we  may  approximately  fix  their  respective  order 
of  issue  from  the  press.  Thus,  the  Brevissima,  having  been  written  twelve 
years  prior  to  its  publication,  would  naturally  take  the  first  rank.  The 
Trataao  Coprabatorio,  dated  in  the  colophon  1553,  and  being  a  summary 
of  all,  except  the  Explicatio  lieges  printed  in  1571,  was  doubtless,  the  latest 
printed  with  that  exception.  The  Thirty  Profiositions,  written  in  defense  of 
the  Twelve  Rules  of  the  Confessional,  must  of  course  have  been  printed 
subsequently  to  them,  and  therefore  the  Ausios  Reglas  y  Confessores  takes 
the  third  place  in  order  of  publication.  Examined  by  similar  analysis,  the 
bibliographical  history  of  his  treatises  should,  it  appears  to  me,  have  the  fol- 
lowing chronological  sequence :  — 

I.  The  first  work  of  Las  Casas  was  written  in  1540,  and  submitted  to  the 
Emperor  and  Council  in  MS.  It  is,  in  substance,  the  same  as  the  one  after- 
wards known  under  the  title  of  Brevissima  lielacion  de  In  Destruccion  de 
las  Indias.  Although  we  now  wonder  at  the  boldness  of  this  wonderful 
treatise,  and  esteem  the  courage  of  Las  Casas  as  little  less  than  superhuman, 
it  is  probable  that  it  once  contained  much  more  to  surprise  us  with  its  te- 
merity. The  allusions  to  persons  who  perpetrated  the  dreadful  acts  of  cruelty 
he  related,  were  doubtless  well  understood  ;  but  Mr.  Help's  assumi)t.ion  that 
the  memoir  when  first  presented  contained  their  names,  is  not  warranted  by 
the  assertions  of  Las  Casas  himself.  In  his  Prologo  to  the  Replicas  in  the 
Disputa  the  Bishop  says  "  I  have  before  been  permitted  to  present  to  you, 

some  works  to  prove  the  injustice  of  the  wars  upon  the    Indians and 

without  going  beyond  the  circle  of  generalities,  I  have  rigorously  imposed 
a  law  upon  myself,  never  to  name  any  one  of  my  adversaries." — (Disputa 
con  Sepulveda,  verso  of  folio  29,  edition  Sevilla,  1552.)  Wherever  lie  found

it  necessary  to  refer  to  any  one  of  the  perpetrators  of  the  cruelties  he  d©. 
scribes,  he  generally  terms  him,  "this  tyrant"  or  "that  oppressor." 

The  Bievissima  Relacion  remains  to-day  almost  unparalleled  in  the  vigor  of 
its  composition  and  the  nobility  of  its  design.  Yet  this  noblest  work  of 
philanthropy  was,  by  a  strange  perversity  of  fortune,  dedicated  to  Prince 
Philip,  fated  to  become  one  of  the  most  inhuman  monsters  who  ever  filled 
a  throne.  The  work  is  divided  into  nineteen  Articles,  each  portraying  in 
detail  the  condition  of  the  Indians,  in  one  of  the  provinces  of  Spanish 
America,  and  is  concluded  by  a  Summary,  and  Addition  for  the  year  1 546. 

n.  The  date  of  the  tract  which  I  place  as  the  second  work  of  Las  Casas,  is 
very  uncertain,  as  it  has  neither  title-page  or  colophon.  It  commences  Lo 
que  Se  si^ue  es  un  pedaco  de  una  Carta,  and  is  usually  found  appended  to 
the  Brevissima  Relacion.  It  consists  of  four  leaves,  and  contains  the  frag- 
ment of  a  letter,  written  by  a  Spaniard,  who  witnessed  some  of  the  dread- 
ful scenes  of  slaughter  of  the  Indians  which  he  narrates. 

III.  His  third  work  was  probably  written  soon  after  the  Brevissima  Relacion, 
and  followed  in  the  same  order  of  publication.  It  is  entitled,  Entre  loa 
Remedios  para  reformacion  de  las  Indias.  (Among  the  Remedies  for  the 
reformation  of  the  Indies.)  The  treatise  is  divided  into  twenty  sections, 
entitled  Razones,  or  "  Reasons  why  the  Indians  should  not  be  disposed  of  in 
Repartimientos." 

IV.  The  fourth  printed  work  of  the  venerable  prelate,  was  probably  the  one 
entitled  Aqui  se  cotiene  unos  ausios  y  reglas  para  los  Confessores,  or  the 
twelve  rules  to  govern  the  confessors,  appointed  by  him  to  act  in  his  diocese 
of  Chiapa,  while  he  was  attending  the  council  in  the  City  of  Mexico,  1547. 
It  is  not  impossible  that  these  rules  were  first  printed  in  that  city,  as  a 
press  had  been  established  there  seven  years  previously.  By  these  rules,  the 
oflSces  of  the  church  were  prohibited  to  all  persons  who  held  repartimientos, 
or  who  did  not  restore  the  avails  of  unrequited  labor,  by  the  Indians. 

V.  But  it  was  in  his  fifth  work  that  the  fervent  energy,  the  massive  intellect, 
and  great  learning  of  the  good  bishop  was  exhibited  most  illustriously. 
His  renowned  controversy  with  the  eminent  scholar  and  casuist  Sepulveda, 
was  the  origin  of  this  treatise,  entitled,  Aqui  se  cotiene  una  disputa  vel  Dr. 
Gines  Sepulveda.  This  remarkable  man,  whose  learning  and  elegance  of 
style  obtained  for  him  the  title  of  "  The  Livy  of  Spain,"  bad  written  a 
work  entitled,  Democritus  Secundus,  in  which  he  maintained,  with  wonderful 
power  of  reasoning,  the  right  of  the  Catholic  monarch  to  dispose  at  pleasure 
of  the  lives  and  property  of  the  Indians.  Mr.  Harrise,  in  his  Bibliotheca 
Vetustissima,  says  that  after  diligent  search,  he  could  not  ascertain  that 
the  Democritus  Alter  had  ever  been  published ;  and  with  good  reason,  for  its 
printing  was  absolutely  prohibited  by  Charles  V.,  although  Sepulveda  was 
on  terms  of  great  intimacy  with  that  monarch.  The  conscience  of  the 
emperor,  now  satiated  with  conquest,  was  alarmed  by  the  awful  narratives 
of  Las  Casas ;  and  Sepulveda's  work  slept  in  MS.,  from  which  it  has  never 
awakened.  The  author,  however,  partially  evaded  the  royal  mandate,  and 
printed  three  years  after  at  Rome,  some  of  its  principal  arguments  in  a 
work  called  Apologia  pro  Libro  de  Justis  Btlli  Caitsis. 

Of  this  fifth  printed  work,  more  than  one  edition  bearing  the  date  of  1552, 
was  pul)lishcd.  The  copy  in  my  posse.ssion  has  thirty-three  variations  in 
the  title  and  colophon  from  the  one  in  the  library  of  Mr.  Brcvoort.  The 
work  is  divided  into  three  sections,  of  which  the  first  is  a  summary  of  the 
motives  which  have  given  rise  to  the  contradictory  opinions  of  Las  Cas.-is 
and  Sepulveda;  prcpHred  by  the  learned  monk  Domingo  de  Soto.     Article 

II.  contains  the  objections  of  Dr.  Sepulveda  to  the  reasons  of  Las  Casas, 
both  as  stated  by  De  Soto  and  as  drawn  from  Las  Casas'  memoir.     Article 

III.  is  composed  of  the  answers  of  Las  Casas,  to  the  responses  of  Dr.  Sepul- 
veda, arranged  in  twelve  sections  entitled  Replicas. 

VI.  The  sixth  publication  of  Las  Casas  is  entitled,  Este  es  un  Tralado  qel 
Obispo  de  Las  Vasas  .  .  .  sobre  la  materia  de  los  Indios,  or  "A  Treatise  upon 
the  Indians  who  have  been  made  slaves  in  the  Indies  ;  containing  some  reas- 
ons for  settling  the  doubtful  questions  of  restitution  to  them." 


218  Indian  Bibliography. 


VII.  The  seventh  in  the  probable  order  of  publication,  is  that  entitled,  Aqui 
se  coliene  Tm/nta  propociones  or  "  Thirty  propositions  regarding  the  work 
called  Confessionario."  The  Bishop,  during  his  absence  in  Mexico  at- 
tending a  council,  had,  as  already  noted,  written  twelve  rules  to  the  con- 
fessors whom  he  had  appointed  in  his  diocese  to  govern  them  in  giving  abso- 
lution. The  rites  of  the  Church  were  by  a  bull  of  Pope  Paul  III.  refused 
to  all  who  held  Indians  in  slavery,  and  restitution  of  goods  obtained  by 
violence  from  them,  was  required  by  the  rules  of  the  Bishop  founded  upon 
this  great  authority.  Complaint  having  been  made  to  the  Council  of  the 
Indies,  of  the  rigor  of  these  rules,  the  thirty  propositions  were  written  to 
sustain  them. 

VIII.  The  eighth  work  of  the  Bishop  of  Chiapas  was  written  and  printed 
in  Latin,  under  the  title  Principia  gueda  ex  quibus  procedendum,  etc.  "  Cer- 
tain principles  to  be  established  in  disputations  regarding  the  government 
of  the  Indians."  It  was  evidently  an  attempt  to  familiarize  the  minds  of 
the  clergy  with  the  principles  upon  which  he  based  his  whole  theory  of  the 
right  of  the  Indians  to  person  and  property. 

IX.  The  ninth  printed  work  of  Las  Casas  is  the  Tratado  Coprabatorio,  dated 
in  the  title  1552,  but  in  the  colophon  1553.  It  is  the  largest  of  the  series, 
containing  eighty-four  leaves  in  one  edition,  and  only  eighty  in  the  other. 
The  fact  that  two  editions  were  printed  with  the  same  date,  seems  hitherto 
unsuspected.  From  comparison  of  several  copies  of  this  work,  it  seems 
clear  to  me  that  it  cannot  be  questioned.  The  Gothic  characters,  the  size  of 
the  page,  and  even  the  number  of  lines  in  each  page,  are  preserved  in  all  the 
copies  of  either  treatise  I  have  seen  except  the  ninth.  It  is,  therefore,  still 
uncertain  whether  more  than  one  edition  of  the  others  was  printed  with  the 
date  of  1552. 

Which  of  the  two  editions  of  that  treatise  is  the  first,  it  is  probably  now  im- 
possible to  determine.  So  much  at  least  may  be  conjectured,  that  both  were 
printed  in  the  lifetime  of  Las  Casas,  as  there  are  orthographical  changes, 
which  would  be  more  readily  suggested  to  the  fastidious  sensitiveness  of  an 
author.  Tiiese  emendations  being  found  in  the  copies  containing  eighty- 
four  leaves,  indicate  that  the  edition  complete  in  eighty  leaves  was  the  first 
printed. 

X.  The  tenth  and  last  of  the  series  was  not  printed  until  1571,  five  years 
after  his  death.  It  is  entitled,  D.  Bartholomew  de  Las  Casas,  .  .  .  Qnestionis 
utrum  Re(/es  vel  Principes  jure  aliquo  vet  titulo,  etc.  "  Examination  of  tlie  Ques- 
tion whether  kings  and  princes  have  the  right  to  dispose  of  their  subjects 
to  other  princes." 

It  is  a  wonderful  enunciation  of  the  inalienable  right  to  person  and  property, 
which  found  its  practical  exemplification  in  America  more  than  two  cen- 
turies afterwards.  Its  doctrines  had  met  a  sympathetic  and  hearty  response 
from  the  Emperor  Charles  the  Eifth,  and  the  hearts  of  the  Catholic  clergy. 
Long  before,  many  devout  and  holy  men  had  stimulated  his  zeal,  and 
warmed  his  conscience  while  pondering  over  those  mighty  propositions. 
They  afford  us  ground  for  astonishment  and  admiration.  First,  that  those 
despotic  and  ambitious  princes,  Charles  V.  and  Philip  II.,  should  have  lis- 
tened and  assented  to  them.  Second,  that  the  first  Catholic  priest  ordained 
in  the  New  World  should  have  becTi  the  first  great  casuist,  to  announce  the 
principles  upon  which  all  its  governments  should  one  day  be  estal)lis]ied. 
They  attracted  the  attention  of  princes,  prelates,  and  philosophers  in  every 
country  of  Europe. 

XI.  But  the  mind  of  this  wonderful  man,  who  seemed  destined  never  to  feel 
the  infirmities  of  age,  was  not  in  repose  even  when  approaching  his  ninetieth 
year.  In  1553  he  had  written  his  eleventh  work,  in  the  form  of  a  letter  of 
great  length,  characterized  by  all  his  wonderful  reasoning,  addressed  to  tiie 
Archbishop  of  Toledo,  then  acting  as  adviser  and  confessor  of  Philij)  II.  in 
England,  in  which  he  urges  with  all  the  fervent  vehemence  of  his  nature, 
and  the  massive  reason  and  learning  of  liis  mind,  the  injustice  of  the  con- 
templated sale  of  the  Encomicndas  in  perpetuity,  orin  other  words  the  fasten- 
ing of  unending  slavery  on  the  wretched  Indians  of  America.     This  letter

was  printed  for  the  first  time  by  Llorente  in  his  edition  of  the  works  of  Las 
Casas  (Paris,  1822),  and  occupies  sixty  pages  of  the  second  volume.  His 
appeal  was  communicated  to  the  king,  and  even  that  stern  monarch  was 
convinced.  The  sale  of  perpetual  "  Kepartimicntos  "  was  prohibited,  by  an 
.  edict  from  the  very  monster  whose  cruelties  depopulated  Holland. 

XII.  In  the  seclusion  and  repose  of  his  convent,  Las  Casas  was  still  engaged 
upon  a  work  which  he  had  commenced  as  early  as  1527,  on  his  first  entering 
the  Dominican  order,  and  which  in  1566  he  left  uncompleted.  This  was  his 
greatest  work,  the  "  History  of  the  Indies ; "  wliich  to  the  regret  of  all  the  lov- 
ers of  historic  truth  has  never  been  printed.  The  Manuscript  has  more  than 
once  been  faithfully  copied,  and  one  of  these  transcripts  rests  in  the  library 
of  Mr.  James  Lenox  of  New  York.  Two  other  copies  are  said  to  exist  in 
the  United  States.  The  MS.  copy  made  for  Mr.  Rich  is  comprised  in  four 
folio  volumes  covering  3,647  pages.  The  work  is  characterized  by  all  the 
vigor  of  expression,  elevation  of  style,  and  minuteness  of  statement,  which 
give  such  decided  personality  to  his  other  writings.  It  has  proved  a  mine  of 
almost  exhaustless  riches  to  other  writers.  The  prince  of  historians,  Anto- 
nio Herrera,  filled  his  decades  with  its  wealth,  and  later  writers,  Robinson, 
Prescott,  and  Helps,  have  enriched  their  pages  from  its  stores. 

XIII.  His  last  work  was  written  in  1564,  wlien  he  was  in  his  ninetieth  year; 
and  when  repose  had  been  earned  by  almost  a  century  of  labor.  But  it  would 
seem  as  if  he  was  constantly  impelled  by  the  awful  enunciation  of  Pedro  de 
Cordova,  "  I  charge  you  as  you  would  escape  the  pains  of  hell," — and  once 
more  he  armed  himself  for  battle,  to  rescue  his  beloved  Indians  from  oppres- 
sion. This  treatise  remained  in  manuscript  for  two  hundred  and  fifty-eight 
years,  when  it  was  printed  by  Llorente  in  1822,  under  the  title.  Response 
aux  questions  qui  lui  ont  ete  proposees,  sur  les  affaires  du  Perou  en  1554.  It 
occupies  156  pages  of  the  second  volume  of  the  French  edition.  The  editor 
fixes  the  date  of  the  Response  in  1 504,  several  years  before  the  discovery  of 
Peru.     It  is  probable,  however,  that  the  error  is  only  typographical!. 

Llorente  has  done  but  scanty  justice  to  the  works  of  Las  Casas.  He  wholly 
omits  the  Principia  Quidam,  and  the  Reglas  para  los  Confessores,  and 
seems  to  have  been  unaware  of  their  existence.  He  printed  what  he  styled 
a  translation  of  the  treatise  entitled.  Question  de  imperatorii  vel  regia  potes- 
tate,  printed  at  Frankfort  in  1571.  ("Essay  upon  the  question  whether 
kings  have  the  right  to  dispose  of  their  subjects,  their  cities,  and  their  gov- 
ernment.") Llorente  says  in  his  Notes,  "  This  extremely  cui'ious  work  was 
not  published  by  the  author  with  his  other  treatises  in  1552.  I  have  not  at- 
tempted to  ti'anslate  each  word  and  phrase  of  my  author  ....  Unhappily 
this  celebrated  man  paid  tribute  to  a  bad  scholastic  taste  ....  in  quoting 
authors  who  convince  nobody  to-day."  ("  Enfin  je  public  une  traduction  libre 
de  Las  Casas  avec  1'  intention  de  rendre  le  lecture  dccet  auteur  plus  support- 
able pour  notre  temps.")  — Llorente,  \Yo].  II.  p.  117. 

In  the  note  to  the  writings  of  Las  Casas  the  theory  that  Las  Casas  had 
printed  other  works  is  founded  upon  his  enunciation  to  the  council  in  his 
dispute  with  Sepulveda:  "Esta  materia  einos  largamente  explicado  en  inu- 
chos  nuestros  tractados  que  en  latin  y  romance  aucmos  escritos."  ("  These 
matters  I  have  more  particularly  explained  in  many  other  treatises,  which 
may  be  found  both  in  Latin  and  in  Spanish  in  my  writings.")  It  will  Ije  seen 
that  Las  Casas  says  "  writings,"  and  several  of  his  works  it  is  said,  still  re- 
main only  "writings,"  having  never  been  printed.  Several  of  his  treatises 
also  were  written  some  years  before  the  Disputa ;  and  circulated  very  exten- 
sively among  the  learned  in  manuscript,  for  several  years  before  they  were 
printed.     Such  was  indeed  at  that  period  the  usual  form  of  publication. 

Thirteen  other  treatises  are  noticed  in  Mr.  Sabin's  Dictionary  as  having  been 
written  by  Las  Casas,  which  remain  in  manuscript,  or  are  lost.  But  a  careful 
examination  of  the  catalogue  of  their  titles,  I  think  would  reduce  their  numl>er 
to  five.  Numbers  6  and  13  are  without  doubt  identical,  as  are  also  probably 
5-8,  and  14.  Of  No.  4,  entitled  "  Discussion  of  the  Bishop  of  Chiapa  with 
the  Bishop  of  Darien  in  1517,"  it  needs  only  to  be  said  that  there  was  no 
Bishop  of  Chiapas  until  twenty-six  years  after  that  date,  and  the  discussion 


220  Indian  Bibliography. 

with  the  warlike  Bishop  of  Darien,  the  friend  and  patron  of  Balboa,  did  not 
take  place  until  1520.  The  belief  in  the  existence  of  treatises  5,  6,  and  7,  of 
this  list,  is  founded  only  upon  the  relation  of  Llorente,  whose  knowledge  of 
Las  Casas'  works  was  imperfect,  and  his  statements  inexact.  Nos.  8  and  12, 
also,  as  stated  in  the  list,  are  believed  to  be  identical.  No.  9  is  identical 
with  the  work  noticed  in  my  catalogue  as  ExpUcatio  Quveslionis  Vtrum  Reyes, 
etc.,  printed  at  Frankfort,  1571.  Nos.  10  and  11  were  printed  by  Llorente 
in  his  collection,  so  that  there  remain  unpublished,  in  all  probability,  only  five 
of  the  works  of  Las  Casas.  Of  these  it  is  certain  that  the  History  of  the 
Indies  is  an  original  work,  but  all  the  others  have  yet  to  be  identified,  as 
Las  Casas  himself  produced  his  works  in  various  forms  more  or  less  identi- 
cal. His  writings  have  been  copied  with  interpolations,  abridgments,  and 
paraphrases  not  only,  but  two  or  more  of  them  have  been  occasionally  fused 
into  one.  They  have  been  translated  into  many  languages  with  the  greatest 
license,  and  for  various  political  designs.  In  Holland,  where  the  works  of 
Las  Casas  appeared  as  Narratio  Regionem  Spregels  and  Warrhaftigers,  with- 
out number,  the  genius  of  De  Bry  was  called  into  requisition  to  illustrate 
them  with  scenes  of  frightful  atrocity,  in  order  to  fire  the  hearts  of  the  Neth- 
erlanders  with  hatred  of  the  Spaniard.  In  France  every  war  with  Spain 
produced  an  edition  of  Mirroir's  des  Cruautez  par  Las  Casas.  The  Spanish 
Armada,  and  the  Falkland  Islands'  dispute  produced  popular  editions  of 
Tears  of  the  Indians,  Accounts  of  Spanish  Cruelties,  and  Old  England  Forever, 
in  endless  number,  and  hopeless  confusion  of  the  works  of  the  good  Bishop. 

His  ten  printed  works  have  appeared  with  more  than  eighty  distinct  titles,  and 
we  have  yet  to  learn  whether  all  that  is  attributed  to  him  by  some  titles  is  au- 
thentic. A  noble  work  by  Mr.  Arthur  Helps,  The  Spanish  Conquest  of  Am- 
erica, of  which  his  Life  of  Las  Casas  is  an  offshoot,  does  such  justice  to  the 
labors  of  the  apostle,  as  learning,  genius,  and  love  of  goodness  may  do,  in  its 
best. 

The  Spaniards  have  not  been  unaffected  by  the  terrible  denunciations  of  Las 
Casas,  and  more  than  one  treatise  has  been  written  for  the  purpose  of  soften- 
ing their  severity.  One  that  has  fallen  under  my  notice  does  not  by  weight 
of  argument,  or  veracity  of  testimony,  much  affect  the  ma.ssive  structure  of 
his  arraignment.  It  is  printed  in  Italian  and  Spanish,  the  title  of  which, 
translated  into  English,  is  — 

"  Impartial  reflections  upon  the  Humanity  of  the  Spaniards  in  the  Indies,  in 
answer  to  the  pretended  philosophers  and  politicians.  To  explain  the  His- 
tories of  Messrs.  llaynal  and  Robertson.  Written  in  Italian  by  the  Abb^ 
Don  Juan  Nuix,  and  translated  with  some  Notes,  by  D.  Pedro  Varela  y 
Ulloa.     Small  40    Madrid,  1782." 

More  than  one  writer  has  attempted  to  cast  a  shade  on  the  humanitarian 
character  of  Las  Casas,  by  attributing  to  him  the  recommendation  of  the  in- 
troduction of  negro  slaves  into  America.  The  facts  regai-ding  this  charge 
are  very  far  from  complex,  being  wonderfully  clear  and  conchisive  in  his 
exculpation.  Negro  slaves  had  lieen  introduced  into  Hispaiiiola  some  years, 
when  Las  Casas,  looking  about  for  some  means  of  ameliorating  the  horrible 
sufferings  of  the  Indians  in  the  mines,  where  they  were  jierishiug  by  thou- 
sands, suggested  that  possibly  the  labor  of  the  hardier  negroes  might  be  found 
available.  It  was  not  until  he  had  exhausted  every  expedient  for  ])utting  an 
end  to  the  forced  labor  of  the  aborigines,  that  his  despair  drove  him  to  this 
unfortunate  conception.

The  impressions  of  the  plates  in  this  edition  are  scarcely  inferior  to  those  of 
the  first,  so  highly  esteemed  for  their  beauty  of  execution.  From  this  period, 
however,  they  exhibited  strong  proofs  of  the  wear  and  dimming  of  use  and 
age.  The  text,  it  will  be  seen,  covers  twenty-four  pages  more  than  in  the 
subsequent  edition  of  1664,  in  which  the  sixteen  pages  of  preliminary  matter 
of  those  of  1598  and  1614  are  omitted.

The  plates  are  illustrative  of  the  horrible  cruelties  perpetrated  by  the  Span- 
iards upon  the  Indians,  natives  of  the  countries  they  conquered  ;  which  Las 
Casas'  Relations  narrate.  The  frightful  tortures  to  which  they  subjected 
the  wretched  Indians,  the  awful  slaughters  of  whole  tribes,  the  burnings,  the 
mutilations,  the  heapcd-up  masses  of  disjointed  and  half-roasted  human 
forms ;  the  wanton,  frantic,  and  incredible  pleasure  these  monsters  seemed 
to  feel  in  this  work  of  devils,  would  almost  compel  the  belief  that  hell  had 
indeed  broken  its  gates,  and  poured  the  torments  of  the  damned  upon  the 
earth.  The  contemplation  of  these  hideous  acts  of  cruelty  leaves  some  sense 
of  gratification  in  the  consideration  of  a  punishment  greater  than  death.

Seventeen  copperplate  engravings  from  De  Bry  are  printed  in  the  text.  This 
work  is  not  the  same  as  the  Tyrannies  et  Cruaules  des  Espagnols,  printed  at 
Anvers,  1579,  at  Paris,  1582,  and  at  Rouen,  1630.  It  diflfers  materially  also 
from  that  afterwards  reprinted  at  Lyons,  1642,  under  the  title  of  Histoire  des 
Indies  Occidentales,  and  at  Paris  in  1697  and  1701,  as  La  Decouverte  des  In- 
dies Occidentales,  and  Relation  des  Voyages,  Amsterdam,  1698.  Neither  of 
these  editions  of  the  French  translation  were  published  with  plates.  Thia 
book  is  a  translation  of  one  of  the  Spiegels,  with*the  plates  engraved  by  the 
De  Brys  for  the  edition  of  1598,  Narratio  regionem  Indicarum,  and  is  the  only 
French  edition  possessing  them.  It  has  been  considered  as  the  sequel  of  a 
work  illustrated  by  the  same  engravers,  entitled,  Tyrannee  Espagnole  perfte- 
tres  au  Pai/s  Bos,  although  it  is  entirely  independent  in  subject  and  pagin- 
ation. Tiie  Hollanders  took  every  pams  to  render  the  cruelty  of  the  Span- 
iards immortally  infamous,  and  the  genius  of  De  Bry  was  exhausted  in 
illustrating  their  hellish  ingenuity  of  torture.  It  contains  only  a  portion  of 
the  Brevissima  lielacion  and  Carte,  rearranged  and  distorted,  with  a  small 
fragment  of  the  Cobrapratorio.

tain  of  the  Sieur  Montauban,  Captain  of  Buccaneers  in  Guinea,  1695.] 

This  is  a  translation  of  five  of  I*as  Casas'  treatises,  entirely  different  from  that 
of  Miggrode,  under  the  title  of  Tyrannies  el  Cruates.  "  The  Brevissima  Rela- 
cion''  occupies  pp.  1  to  147.  "  Lo  que  se  Sigue  es  un  pedaco,"  pp.  147  to 
161.  "  Entre  los  Remedios,"  pp.  161  to  196.  "  Treynta  Propositions,"  196 
to  210.  "  Disputa  con  Sepulveda,"  pp.  211  to  354.  The  treatises  are  all 
much  abbreviated,  having  been  printed,  as  avowed  in  the  Preface,  to  arouse  the 
Hollanders  against  the  Spaniards.  The  Relation  of  Montauban  with  a  sepa- 
rate title  occupies  pp.  359  to  402.  The  work  seems  to  be  identical  with  the 
two  French  editions  entitled  Histoire  des  Indies  Occidentales,  1642,  and  La 
Decouverte  des  Indes  Occidentales,  1697. 

Mr.  Rich  says  the  translation  was  made  by  the  Abbe  de  Bellegarde,  whose  polite- 
ness (or  perhaps  fear  of  the  Spanish  influence  at  the  French  court),  induced  him 
to  soften  some  of  the  cruel  parts,  lest  they  should  give  pain  to  delicate  persons.

sacres  perpetrated  upon  the  Indians,  which  the  genius  of  devils  could  invent 
or  the  pencil  of  the  most  imaginative  artist  could  portray.  This  edition  is  not 
noticed  in  Mr.  Sabin's  Dictionary,  or  in  his  Monograph  of  Las  Casus'  works. 

This  work  professes  to  be  a  translation  of  the  French  book  entitled  Ti/rannies 
et  Cruautez  des  Espagnds.  The  Relations  of  Las  Casas  proved  a  most  for- 
midable weapon  for  any  nation  on  ill  terms  with  the  Spaniards.  Ten  edi- 
tions at  least  of  Spiegel's,  with  prints  portraying  the  horrible  cruelties  perpe- 
trated by  the  Spanish  upon  the  Indians,  were  printed  in  Holland,  while 
struggling  with  the  murderous  banditti  of  Philip  II.     Three  were  printed  in

France,  during  the  prevalence  of  hostilities  with  Spain,  and  four  in  England 
under  similar  animus. 

The  first  of  the  English  translations  of  Las  Casas'  Relations  was  printed  in 
Cromwell's  Protectorate,  1656,  under  the  title  of  Tears  of  the  Indians.  The 
present  Relation  contains  a  translation  of  the  "  Brevissima  Relacion,"  pp.  1 
to  92,  the  "  Treynte  Propositiones,"  "  Disputa  con  Sepulveda,"  and  "  Tra- 
tada  de  los  Remedios,"  or  of  such  portion  of  them  as  the  French  translator 
saw  fit  to  print.  The  latter  is  said  to  have  politely  softened  some  of  the 
worst  features  of  Las  Casas'  charges  of  cruelty.  It  is  worthy  of  note,  how- 
ever, that  while  the  English  editor  of  Tears  of  the  Indians  places  their  slaugh- 
ter at  twenty  millions,  the  editor  of  this  Relation  doubles  the  number  and 
calls  it  forty  millions.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  real  number  inhumanly 
tortured  and  slain  has  been  fictitiously  doubled  many  times,  otherwise  we 
should  be  compelled  to  believe  that  the  torments  of  purgatory  were  too  mod- 
erate for  the  Spaniards.

There  is  no  moi-e  foundation  for  attributing  this  work  to  Las  Casas  (as  the 
Catalogues  not  unfrequently  do),  than  that  he  is  quoted  as  an  authority  in 
common  with  other  writers.  Not  the  slightest  original  information  regard- 
ing the  Indians  is  afforded  us ;  what  we  find  in  it  is  commonplace,  and  of 
no  consequence.

This  is  the  only  collection  of  the  works  of  the  Apostle  of  the  Indians,  which 
was  ever  printed  in  a  foreign  language.  It  was  published  by  order  of  the 
king,  at  a  period  when  the  long  absence  of  employment,  and  consequent  star- 
vation, had  driven  the  printers  of  Paris  to  the  verge  of  revolution.  It  is  not

whose  humanity  has  made  his  name  immortal.

Las  Casas  (Bartholomew). 

Personal  Narrative  of  the  First  Voyage  of  Columbus  to  Amer- 
ica. P>om  a  manuscript  recently  discovered  in  Spain.  Trans- 
lated from  the  Spanish.  8°  pp.  303.  Boston:  Published  by 
TJiomas  B.  Wail  ^  Son,  1827.  892 

This  work,  already  noticed  at  number  347,  where  it  was  attribated  to  Colum- 
bus, has  also  some  claims  to  attention  here,  as  it  owes  its  existence  to  Las 
Casas. 

The  original  manuscript,  in  the  well-known  handwriting  of  the  venerable 
Bishop,  was  discovered  by  Navarrette,  near  the  close  of  the  last  century ;  but  on 
account  of  the  disturbed  condition  of  Spanish  affairs,  did  not  make  its  ap- 
pearance in  print,  until  1825.  The  title  of  the  two  volumes  which  it  filled, 
was,  Coleccion  de  los  Viages,  y  Descubrimientos  que  hirieron  nor  mar  los  Espayndes 
desde  Jines  del  Sitflo  XV.,  etc.  The  narrative  is  an  English  translation  of  only 
a  small  portion  of  the  Spanish  work.  The  Manuscript  of  Las  Casas,  from 
which  these  volumes  were  printed,  is  evidently  itself  an  abridgment  of  the 
original  journal  of  Columbus,  made  by  the  Bishop  to  aid  him  in  writing  his 
History  of  the  Indies.  The  portions  of  the  work  written  by  Las  Casas,  are 
distinguished  by  speaking  of  Columbus  as  the  Admiral,  while  the  journal  of 
the  latter  is  in  the  tirst  person.

and  donbtless  entire  veracity  regarding  the  Indians  of  North  Carolina,  at  a 
very  interesting  period  of  their  existence.  Lawson  was  a  land  surveyor  in 
the  employment  of  the  government,  and  was  the  unhappy  cause  of  the  exile 
of  the  Tuscarora  tribe  to  New  York,  and  its  consequent  incorporation  into 
the  Iroquois  Confederacy,  by  which  its  name  was  changed  to  the  Six  Nations. 
As  the  surveyor  was  the  precursor  of  the  settler,  who  seized  upon  and  occu- 
pied the  lands  of  the  savages,  he  was  always  the  especial  object  of  their 
detestation.  A  great  conspiracy,  it  is  asserted  by  Dr.  Hawks,  had  been 
previously  organized,  but  whether  true  or  false,  Lawson  was  the  first  victim 
of  the  Indian  vengeance.  Accompanied  by  Baron  GrafFenried  in  September, 
1811,  the  surveyor-general  was  ascending  the  Neuse  River  in  a  boat,  when 
he  was  seized  by  the  Indians  a  few  miles  above  Newbern.  After  some  hours 
of  captivity,  the  Indian  council  determined  to  put  him  to  the  cruel  death  of 
burning  at  the  stake.  All  the  appalling  tortures,  which  savage  ingenuity 
could  invent,  were  exhausted  on  this  unfortunate  man,  and  the  author  of  the 
first  history  of  the  Carolinas,  perished  at  the  hands  of  the  savages,  whose 
humanity  he  had  in  its  pages  so  highly  commended.  The  massacre  at  Bath, 
in  which  one  hundred  and  thirty  poor  Huguenots  perished  under  the  hands 
of  1200  Tuscaroras,  followed  in  a  few  days.  The  war  which  succeeded  proved 
80  disastrous  to  them  that  the  Tuscaroras  abandoned  their  native  soil,  and 
fled  to  New  York.  Neither  of  the  first  three  editions  of  Lawson 's  work  is 
often  found  complete  with  the  map,  and  animal  plate.

It  has  the  air  of  veracity  with  that  want  of  authenticity  which  attaches  to 
fiction.  The  writer  had  some  acquaintance  certainly  with  the  peculiar  habits 
of  American  savages,  but  whether  the  result  of  personal  experience,  or 
derived  from  others,  and  where  the  boundary  line  is  to  be  drawn  between 
the  incidents  of  intercourse  with  them,  and  the  offspring  of  his  imagination, 
we  are  left  without  any  guide  to  determine. 
His  narrative  has,  it  is  fair  to  say,  been  deemed  by  good  scholars  a  veracious 
history,  and  this  is  not  improbable,  for  in  the  eccentric  whims  of  the  writers 
of  veritable  statements,  there  have  not  been  wanting  some  who  have  at- 
tempted to  make  their  true  history  look  like  fiction.

Father  Le  Clercq  has  left  a  remarkable  record  of  the  labors  of  his  brethren 
the  Recollects,  in  converting  the  Pagan  tribe  of  Gaspesien  Indians.  He  not 
only  recorded  the  results  of  his  own  missionary  life  among  the  savages  in- 
habiting the  shores  of  the  St.  Lawrence,  but  he  has  left  us  what  has  always 
been  considered,  an  authentic  account  of  their  peculiar  traits  of  character, 
religious  rites,  and  mode  of  life,  before  these  had  been  modified  iiy  contact 
with  civilization.  Two  subjects,  or  rather  the  manner  in  vvlilch  tlicy  were 
treated,  have  notwithstanding  the  general  respect  for  his  ability,  and  truth- 
fulness, caused  some  hesitation  in  scholars  to  fully  trust  his  judgment. 
Having  found  among  some  of  their  nation,  the  cross  worn  on  their  garments, 
and  occasionally  carried  in  their  hands,  he  somewhat  credulously  adopted

their  traditions,  that  its  worship  was  of  very  ancient  origin  with  them. 
Father  Le  Clercq  himself  was  half  inclined  to  believe,  that  the  worship  of  the 
sacred  emblem  came  to  them  through  the  preaching  of  St.  Thomas.  This 
sunplicity  of  the  excellent  missionary,  ought  by  no  means  to  weigh  against 
his  fidelity  as  a  historian.  The  second  ground  of  criticism  is  of  a  different 
charactei',  somewhat  more  important,  but  does  not  affect  the  Relation  of  the 
Gaspesiens. 
Le  Clercq  was  a  most  zealous  Recollect  missionary,  who  having  spent  five 
years  in  the  dreary  country  of  the  Gaspesiens,  both  of  his  Relations  would 
have  merited  the  highest  credit,  if  the  last  of  them,  entitled  Etablissement  de 
la  Foy.  did  not  contain  so  many  satirical  reflections  upon  the  labors  of  his 
brethren  of  the  Jesuit  order,  who  were  equally  zealous  in  the  labor  of  Chris- 
tianizing the  savages.  It  is  impossible  to  account  for  the  misrepresentations 
found  in  his  work  by  attributing  them  to  jealousy,  as  he  lived  in  the  most 
cordial  and  friendly  relations  with  them,  especially  with  Father  Bigot.  The 
most  plausible  solution  of  the  enigma  must  be  sought  for  in  the  political 
relations  of  the  two  orders  to  the  viceroyal  government.  The  Bishop  Laval, 
observing  the  terrible  destruction  and  suffering  caused  by  the  sale  of  ardent 
spirits  to  the  Indians,  denounced  the  traffic,  with  the  ecclesiastical  |)enaltie8 
of  the  Church  attaching  to  the  offense.  The  Jesuit  missionaries,  who  saw 
their  flocks  wasting  under  the  ravages  of  the  infernal  beverage,  strongly- 
supported  him.  The  community  of  fur-traders  which  almost  wholly  com- 
posed the  colonies  of  New  France,  became  desperate  with  rage,  and  as  the 
missionaries  and  priests  of  the  order  of  Recollects  were  not  so  rigid  in  their 
spiritual  demands,  the  war  assumed  presently  a  sectarian  coloring.  Fron- 
tenac,  the  Governor,  had  also  a  cause  of  pique  against  the  order,  as  the  Jesuit 
missionaries  had  strongly  opposed  his  favorite  project  of  domiciliating  the 
Indians  in  the  white  settlements,  and  entirelj'  breaking  up  their  tribal  and 
village  organizations.  The  Recollects,  on  the  contrary,  found  favor  with  the 
Governor  by  espousing  his  impracticable   theory.      Sometime   before   this 

Seriod,  the  missionaries  of  this  order  had  been  recalled  to  France,  and  the 
esuits  placed  in  charge  of  all  the  mission  establishments.  Under  the  in- 
fluence of  Frontenac,  the  Recollects  were  now  restored  to  fovor,  and  the 
Jesuits  placed  under  the  ban.  The  Recollect  missionaries  are  by  no  means 
to  be  charged  with  complicity,  in  bringing  the  controversy  to  this  climax,  but 
they  were  involved  in  it  by  a  difference  of  opinion  with  their  brethren  of  the 
other  order.  Father  Le  Clercq,  and  Father  Charlevoix,  as  the  representatives 
of  the  two  orders,  felt  and  expressed  the  bias  of  their  respective  interests  in 
their  histories  of  New  France  and  their  Missions.  Made  antagonistic  by  the 
relations  of  their  societies  to  the  government,  they  each  belittle  the  labors 
and  the  discoveries  of  the  society  to  which  the  other  belonged.  Charlevoix 
makes  light  of  Father  Sagard's  Huron  Dictionary,  and  doubts  the  authen- 
ticity of  Hennepin's  discoveries,  because  they  were  of  the  order  of  Recollects, 
and  Le  Clercq,  in  his  Etablissement  de  la  Foi,  derides  the  claim  of  the  Jesuits 
to  extensive  reclamation  of  savage  tribes,  or  important  discoveries.  From 
what  we  know  of  the  character  of  Father  Le  Clercq,  we  must  conclude  that 
the  satirical  portion  of  his  work  was  by  another  hand.  Mr.  Shea,  from 
whose  work  most  of  this  detail  of  the  "  wars  of  the  orders  "  is  taken,  says  tiiat 
Le  Clercq's  Relation  of  the  Gaspesie  is  a  description  of  his  own  field  and  his 
own  labors ;  and  the  Etablissement  de  la  Foi,  is  a  well  written  history  of  the 
Recollect  missions  and  La  Salle's  voyages.  In  an  historical  point  of  view, 
its  fidelity  to  the  documents  upon  which  it  professes  to  be  founded,  has 
never  been  questioned.  It  is  then  only  when  the  writers  on  the  history  of 
New  France  speak  of  the  work  of  other  orders  that  we  must  read  with  cau- 
tion. 
According  to  Charlevoix,  the  Etablissement  de  la  Foy  was  partly  the  work  of 
Count  Frontenac,  then  Governor  of  Canada.  The  great  work  of  that  his- 
torian has  caused  this  important  one  to  be  forgotten.  There  is  a  curious 
bibliographical  fact  in  the  history  of  this  work,  which  was  brought  to  notice 
by  Mr.  Lenox  in  the  Historical  Magazine  of  January,  1858.     The  work

1692.  Two  vols.  12°  Vol.  I.  pp.  559.  Vol.  II.  pp.  458.  It  will  be  seen 
that  the  volumes  of  each  edition  agree  in  the  numbered  pages,  and  that  in 
the  second  the  name  of  the  author  is  suppressed.  The  first  edition  was  dedi- 
cated to  Count  Frontenac,  and  this  may  have  had  something  of  an  influence 
in  its  suppression.  The  conflict  of  authorities  upon  the  early  history  of  the 
French  Colonies,  has  been  so  puzzling,  that  historians  and  scholars  have 
summarily  rid  themselves  of  trouble  hitherto,  by  adopting  one  narrator  and 
rejecting  all  whom  he  derides.  It  seems  to  me  that  this  is  not  logically 
tenable  ground.  When  Joutel  contradicts  Le  Clercq's  EtaUissement,  and 
Hennepin  asserts  that  it  was  really  written  by  Father  Valentine  la  Roux  ; 
when  Le  Clei'cq  doubts  the  authenticity  of  the  Relation  of  Lalemant ;  and 
when  Charlevoix  says  the  Count  Frontenac  was  the  real  author  of  a  portion 
of  Le  Clercq's  EtaUissement  de  la  Foy,  we  must  conclude  these  charges,  and 
counter-charges,  as  attributable  to  the  weaknesses  of  human  jealousy,  belittling 
the  strength  of  these  good  men,  but  not  invalidating  the  truth  of  their  positive 
statements.

This  narrative  of  a  captivity  of  three  years  among  the  Camanches,  is  accred- 
ited by  the  testimony  of  well  known  citizens  of  Albany,  and  other  places  in 
New  York.  They  vouch  for  the  veracity  of  the  author,  and  accord  to  his 
statements  their  own  credence.  The  appalling  and  monstrous  cruelties  of 
this  untamable  nation  of  nomads,  reconciles  us  somewhat  to  their  rapid 
extinction.  Unlike  the  savages  of  the  Algonquin  and  Iroquois  races,  who 
invariably  respected  the  chastity  of  their  female  prisoners,  the  savages  of  the 
southern  plains  ravish  and  torture  them,  with  the  combined  fury  of  lust  and 
bloodthirst.

The  details  of  this  frightful  massacre  by  the  Indians  under  Montcalm,  are 
given  by  an  eye-witness,  and  go  far  to  prove  him  innocent  of  conniving  at  it. 
The  principal  portion  of  this  defense  is  a  journal  of  the  events  of  the  siege, 
surrender,  and  massacre,  written  by  a  French  missionary.  It  may  be  found 
in  the  Lettres  Edifiante,  Vol.  Vl.  A  translation  of  this  journal  was 
made  by  Father  Kip,  and  printed  in  Part  II.  of  his  Early  Jesuit  Missions  in 
America,  where  it  is  attributed  to  Father  Roubaud,  Abnaquis  missionary. 
It  is  an  almost  perfect  exculpation  of  Montcalm,  from  the  charge  of  horrible

cruelty,  of  which  he  had  been  found  guilty  by  historians,  without  trial  or 
examination  of  the  evidence.  The  slaughter  is  amply  proven,  by  the  evi- 
dence adduced  in  this  little  volume,  to  have  been  the  result  of  one  of  those 
sudden  and  ovei-whelming  phrensics  for  blood,  to  which  the  savages  of  all 
nations  are  predisposed  in  battle.

of  the  new  pavement  beinjr  laid  in  the  principal  Plaza  of  Mexico,  were  found 
in  it  in  the  j'ear  1790.  The  calendar  system  of  the  Indians  is  explained,  the 
method  which  they  had  for  dividing  time,  and  the  correction  which  they 
made  to  adjust  the  civil  year,  which  they  made  use  of.  with  the  solar  tropical 
year.  A  notice  very  necessary  for  the  perfect  understanding  of  the  second

This  is  Le  Page  du  Pratz's  work  as  it  issued  from  the  hands  of  the  author. 
The  English  translator,  with  an  assurance  which  is  perfectly  satire  proof, 
not  only  abridges  the  work,  but  reconstructs  and  distorts  it,  and  then  calls 
upon  us  to  admire  his  dexterity  in  subverting  the  labor  and  plan  of  the 
author.  The  work  teems  with  facts  and  particulars  relating  to  the  Natchez 
and  other  tribes  of  Louisiana. 

Le  Page  du  Pratz  resided  in  Louisiana  fifteen  years,  and  it  is  from  his  relation 
that  most  of  tlie  details  of  the  life  of  the  Natchez  and  other  Mississippi  tribes 
have  been  derived.  Later  historians  have  largely  availed  themselves  of  his 
materials.  It  is  difficult  to  procure  his  work  complete  in  all  the  plates  and 
maps,  which  should  number  forty-two.

The  long  preface  is  the  work  of  the  English  editor,  who  informs  us  that  be- 
cause the  author  descends  to  trifles,  he  "  has  left  out  many  things  that  ap- 
peared to  be  trifling,  and  abridged  some  parts  of  it."  It  will  also  be  perceived, 
on  comparison  of  the  titles,  that  he  has  even  constructed  one  for  the  work  to 
suit  himself.  All  of  Book  I.,  Chapter  v.,  p.  21,  to  Chapter  xiv.  p.  117,  is 
devoted  to  "  The  author's  residence  among  the  Natchez  Indians ;  "  Their  wars 
with  the  French  and  Spaniards ;  "  The  Massacre  of  the  French  by  that  nation, 
and  its  extirpation  ;  "  "  The  War  with  the  Chitimachas,"  and  "  The  War  with 
the  Chicasaws."  The  English  editor  has  combined  in  Books  II.  and  III.,  with 
the  journal  of  the  author's  tour  through  the  northern  parts  of  Louisiana,  his 
own  worthless  lucubrations,  and  scraps  from  Charlevoix  and  Dumont.  Book 
IV.,  pp.  291  to  387,  is  divided  into  chapters  with  the  following  headings: 
"  Origin  of  the  Americans  (Indians) ;  "  "An  Account  of  the  Several  Nations

their  Marriages,  Nobility,  etc. ;  "  "  Of  the  Indian  Art  of  War,"  all  of  which 
may,  or  may  not  be  Du  Pratz's  work.

The  author  sailed  for  Brazil  in  1563,  and  after  a  residence  of  nearly  eighteen 
years  returned  to  France,  and  from  his  journals  and  writings  composed  this 
book.  It  has  a  high  value  as  a  historical  work,  being  the  results  of  a  long 
experience  among  the  savages  of  South  America.  In  a  bibliographical 
view  it  is  also  not  without  merit,  as  it  is  imcomnion,  and  brinu:s  a  not 
inconsiderable  price  when  offered  for  sale.  The  greater  portion  of  the  work 
is  composed  of  observations  upon  the  peculiarities  of  the  Indians. 

Chapter  vii.  is  entitled,  "  On  the  Nature,  Power,  Stature  and  Nudity  of 
the  Indians."  Chap,  viii.,  Of  the  roots  and  grnin  which  the  Indians  cat  in 
lieu  of  bread."  Chap,  xiv.,  "  Of  the  Wars,  battles,  hardihood,  and  armes  of 
the  Savages."  Chap,  xv.,  "How  the  Indians  treat  their  prisoners,  their 
Cruelties  and  Cannibalism."     Chap,  xvi.,  "  Of  their  Ileligion,  or  what  they

term  Religion."  Chap,  xvii.,  "Of  their  Marriages  and  Polygamy  and 
degree  of  Consanguinity."  Chap,  xviii.,  "Of  what  the  Savages  term  their 
laws  and  police."  Chap,  xix.,  "  How  the  Indians  trcat  their  diseases." 
Chap.  XX.,  "  Dialogue  in  French  and  the  Indian  language  Towpinoukin." 
These  subjects  occupy  all  the  space  from  pages  100  to  140,  and  from  207  to 
379.  The  colloquy  in  the  Indian  and  French  language,  and  the  accompany- 
ing Vocabulary,  fill  pages  347  to  379.  The  plates  are  all  illustrative  of 
savage  life  and  manners.  The  folding  plate  represents  the  combat  of  the 
Tou-ou-pin-am-boault  savages  with  the  Margais  Indians,  which  in  most 
copies  is  lost.  The  work  was  translated  into  Latin  and  printed  in  the  fol-

This  edition,  as  well  as  those  of  1609  and  1611,  is  usually  accompanied  by 
another  work,  entitled  Les  Muses  de  la  Nouvelle  France,  which  is  nothing 
more  than  a  collection  of  poems  by  the  same  author,  separately  paged. 

This  edition  of  Lescarbot's  rare  work  on  the  History  of  New  Fr:incc,  differs 
greatly  from  both  the  former.  It  has  139  pages  more  than  that  of  1609, 
with  a  very  large  addition  of  matter,  and  the  arrangement  much  altered. 
The  edition  of  1611  has  four  less  preliminary  pages,  and  94  pages  less 
of  text,  than  that  of  1618;  while  Les  Muses  occupy  the  same  number  in 
each.  The  form  and  size  of  all  the  French  editions  is  the  same,  12°  or  small 
8"^.  That  of  1609  is  thought  to  be  complete  with  only  two  maps;  those  of 
1611  and  1618  are  only  complete  when  containing  four.  The  last  received 
the  final  touches  of  Lescarbot's  hand,  and  may  therefore  be  well  considered 
the  most  desirable  of  all.  One  copy  at  least  has  been  announced  with  the 
date  of  1617  on  the  title,  but  it  is  declared  to  be  identical  with  this,  which 
the  publisher  asserts  to  be  the  third  edition.  All  of  the  French  editions,  as 
well  as  the  translation  of  a  part  of  that  of  1609  into  English  by  Eron

ton Comey,  sold  in  1871  for  £27,  and  in  the  same  collection  a  copy  of  Eron- 
delle's  translation  sold  for  £37.  A  copy  of  the  edition  of  1618,  without  the 
maps,  from  Leclercq's  collection,  in  1817  sold  for  251  francs;  equal  to 
$100  of  the  currency  of  the  day. 

Lescarbot's  history  is  highly  esteemed  not  only  for  its  great  veracity,  but  as 
the  work  of  a  candid  and  intelligent  writer,  and  the  first  history  of  the 
French  settlements  in  Canada.  Charlevoix's  praise  of  him  is  flavored  with 
a  little  of  his  characteristic  acidity.  "  Marc  Lescarbot,  advocate  in  the  Parlia- 
ment of  Paris,  was  a  man  of  sense  and  learning,  but  a  little  addicted  to  the 
marvelous."  The  good  father,  however,  subsequently  neutralises  the  sharp- 
ness of  his  criticism  by  saying,  "  Lescarbot  has  collected  with  much  care  all 
that  had  been  written  before  him,  relating  to  the  discoveries  of  the  French  in 
America,  all  that  passed  in  French  Florida,  etc.-  —  He  was  sincere,  well  edu- 
cated, and  impartial."  His  descriptions  of  Indian  Life  and  peculiarities  are 
very  interesting,  an  account  both  of  their  fidelity,  and  from  being  among 
the  first  authentic  relations,  we  have  of  them  after  Cartier.  Lescarbot 
wrote  two  other  works  relating  to  Canada  ;  copies  of  which  are  still  rarer 
than  either  edition  of  his  Histoire  de  la  Nouvel/e  France.  The  first  is 
entitled.  La  conversion  des  Sanvages  qui  ont  &.€  baptistes  dans  la  Nouvelle 
France  cette  anne  1610,  avec  a  brief  recit  du  Sieur  Poutrincourt.  The  other 
appeared  under  the  title  Relation  derniere  de  ce  qui  c'est  passe  au  voyage  du 
Sieur  de  Poutrincourt  en  la  Nouvelle  France  depuis  vingt  mois  en  fa."  Paris,

title  with  the  initials  of  the  name  signed  to  the  dedication,  this  translation 
of  a  portion  of  Lescarbot's  work  has  been  generally  attributed  to  P.  Eron- 
delle. He  expressly  avows  in  his  Preface  that :  "  The  whole  volume  of  the 
navigations  of  the  French  nation  into  the  West  Indies  (comprised  in  three 
bookes)  was  brought  to  mee,  to  be  translated  by  M.  Richard  Hakluyt,  *  * 
and  by  him  this  part  was  selected  from  the  whole  work,  to  the  end,  that 
comparing  the  goodnesse  of  the  lands  with  that  of  Virginia,  etc." 
"Wnich  translation  is  but  a  part  of  a  greater  volume."  It  thus  appears 
that  the  Histoire  de  la  Nouvelle  France  was  ignominiously  devoted  to  an 
advertising  scheme,  for  selling  the  lands  in  Virginia,  distant  more  than 
seven  hundred  milea.    Nor  was  it  sufficient  to  rob  Lescarbot  of  hard-earned

fame,  by  utterly  ignoring  his  authorship  of  the  work,  but  it  was  greatly 
abridged  ;  not  however  past  recognition,  for  the  preservation  by  the  transltt- 
tor,  of  the  divisions  of  the  original,  is  almost  exact. 
Erondelle's  book  is  a  very  faithful  translation  of  the  Fourth  and  Sixth  Books 
of  Lcscarbot's  History,  with  the  same  number  of  chapters  in  the  first,  and 
twenty-six  instead  of  twenty-five  chapters  in  the  second,  the  third  chapter 
of  the  original  being  divided  into  chapters  iii.  and  iiii.  It  contains  there- 
fore a  trifle  less  than  half  of  the  matter  of  the  work,  and  it  is  but  justice  to 
add,  much  the  best  portion.  So  exact  is  Erondelle's  reproduction  of  the 
original  in  English,  that  he  has  retained  almost  every  word  of  the  elaborate 
chapter  headings.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  the  honesty  he  evinced  in  trans- 
lation, did  not  survive  that  labor  long  enough  to  place  the  author's  name  oa 
the  title-page.

Histoire  de  la  Nouvelle  France  par  Marc  Lescarbot,  suivee

par  Edwin  Tross  avec  quatre  cartes  geographique.  3  vols. 
Small  %°.  Paris,  Librairie  Tross,  1866.  917 

This  edition  purports  to  be  a  reproduction  of  the  second,  which  was  printed  in 
1611,  and  which  indeed  he  announces  as  the  second  in  his  biographical  sketch 
of  Lescarbot.  Notwithstanding  this,  his  reproduction  of  the  title-page  gives 
the  date  of  1612  (Chez  Jean  Milot,  m.dc.xh.).  Each  volume  contains  one 
half  and  three  full  titles.  The  pagination  of  the  text  of  the  "  Histoire  "  is 
continuous  through  the  three  volumes  =  pp.  851.  Bars  in  the  text  indicate 
the  termination  of  the  pages  of  the  original,  and  figures  in  the  mai^in 
their  corresponding  number.  Vol.  I.  has  (viii.)-(-xx.  preliminary  pages.  In 
Vol.  III.  the  "  Soramiere  des  Chapitres  "  occupies  pp.  xxviii. ;  "  Les  Muses 
de  la  Nouvelle  France,"  pp.  84. 
Mr.  Tross  gives  us  but  a  meagre  sketch  of  the  life  of  Lescarbot,  in  which  he 
guesses  at  the  period  of  his  birth  and  death.  The  bibliographical  account  of 
his  works  is  quite  as  carelessly  drawn,  for  he  omits  in  his  list  of  editions 
and  works,  that  of  Erondelle,  London,  1609,  Le  Conversion  des  Sauvages,  of 
Paris,  1610,  and  the  Relation  da  Voyage  du  Steur  de  Poutrincourt,  Paris,  1612. 
The  publisher  has  reproduced,  with  very  creditable  exactness,  the  four  maps, 
as  belonging  to  the  edition  of  1611. 
The  works  of  Lescarbot  are  more  numerous  than  seems  to  have  been  sus- 
pected by  bibliographers.

Chez  Noel-Etienne  Sens^c,  1810.     36  volumes  12°  919 

Vols.  V.  to  VIII.  are  filled  with  Relations,  Narratives  and  Letters  from  Jesuit 
Missionaries,  written  subsequently  to  the  celebrated  and  rare  Relations  of  the 
Jesuit  Missionaries  of  Canada  to  their  superiors.  They  are  undoubtedly 
among  the  most  authentic  sources  of  information,  regarding  some  of  the  most 
obscure  and  mysterious  of  aboriginal  customs,  languages,  and  religions.  Vol. 
V.  is  principally  occupied  with  the  Relations  of  the  Missionaries  among  the 
Indians  of  Paraguay  and  Brazil.  Vol.  VI.  contains  the  Relations  of  the 
Indian  Missions  in  Canada,  and  among  the  Abenakis.  The  letters  regarding 
the  latter  are  written  by  the  celebrated  Father  Rasles,  who  fell  a  martyr  to 
his  zeal  for  his  flock  at  Norridgewock.  The  most  important  historic  portion 
of  this  volume,  perhaps  of  the  whole  collection,  is  the  Journal  of  an  Abenakis 
missionary  who  was  present  at  the  massacre,  by  the  Indians,  of  the  English 
garrison  of  Fort  George,  after  it  had  surrendered.  In  this  series  the  name 
of  the  Father  who  wrote  it  is  not  given,  but  Father  Kip,  in  his  book  Early 
Jesuit  Missions  in  America,  says  the  author  was  Father  Roubaud.  The  facts, 
as  narrated  by  this  very  credible  witness,  certainly  exculpate  the  heroic 
Montcalm  from  the  taint  of  cruelty.  Vol.  VII.  is  composed  of  Letters  and 
Relations  of  the  missionaries  among  the  Natchez,  the  Illinois,  the  Indians  of 
Saint  Domingo,  and  of  Guiana.  A  curious  identification  of  the  name  of  the 
city  of  Chicago,  is  found  in  the  letter  of  Father  Petit,  pp.  1  to  60,  which 
gives  minute  details  of  the  visit  of  the  Illinois  chief  Chicaugou  to  the  mis- 
sion. This  chief  h.ad  visited  Paris,  and  become  somewhat  noted,  and  doubt- 
less it  was  from  him  that  the  name  of  that  once  opulent  city  is  derived.  Vol. 
VIII.  contains  the  Relations  of  the  missionaries  among  the  Indians  of  Gui- 
ana, Peru,  California,  and  Chili,  in  which  the  characteristics  of  the  Moxes, 
Chiquitos,  Pulchas,  and  Payas  Indians,  are  given  with  great  minuteness  and 
fidelity.  Every  one  of  these  volumes  is  crowded  with  interesting  details  for 
the  history  of  the  aborigines  of  the  countries  in  which  these  wonderful  men 
held  their  missions.

Lewis  (Meriwether). 

The  Travels  of  Cap*"  Lewis  and  Clarke,  from  St.  Louis,  by  way 
of  the  Missouri  and  Columbia  rivers,  to  the  Pacific  Ocean ;  per- 
formed in  the  years  1804,  1805,  and  1806,  by  order  of  the  gov- 
ernment of  the  United  States,  containing  delineations  of  the 
manners,  customs,  religion,  &c.  Of  the  Indians,  compiled  from 
Various  Authentic  Sources,  and  Original  Documents,  and  a 
Summary  of  the  Statistical  View  of  the  Indian  Nations,  from

"  As  far  as  relates  to  Lewis  and  Clarke's  travels,  this  work  is  not  what  it  pre-

official  communication  of  Meriwether  Lewis,  with  the  addition  of  some  pri- 
vate letters  from  Captain  Clarke."  In  other  respects  it  possesses  much  in- 
terest, as  it  contains  some  documents  not  published  in  any  other  edition. 
Among  them  are  a  description  of  the  manners  and  customs  of  the  Missouri 
Indians ;  a  statistical  view  of  the  Northwestern  tribes ;  historical  sketches 
of  the  several  Indian  tribes  of  Louisiana ;  observations  on  the  voyage  of

Philadelphia,  1814.  928 

This  work  was  commenced  by  Captain  Ivcwis  himself,  who  was  on  his  route 
to  Philadelphia  to  engage  in  its  completion,  when  the  derangement  seized 
him,  under  the  influence  of  which  he  committed  suicide  at  St.  Louis.  It 
was  then  undertaken  by  Mr.  Nicolas  Biddle,  who  in  conjunction  with  Cap- 
tain Clarke,  arranged  the  numerous  notes,  and  copious  diaries  and  journals, 
kept  by  each  of  the  principal  explorers,  and  enlarged  the  skeleton  of  many 
incidents  from  the  recollections  of  the  survivor.  To  this  mass  of  authentic 
material  was  added  such  additional  particulars  as  were  noted  in  the  journals 
of  Gass  and  another  sergeant,  —  that  of  the  last  still  unpublished,  and  said  to 
be  the  most  minute  and  valuable.  Another  intelligent  member  of  the  ex- 
pedition, Mr.  George  Shannon,  also  contributed  some  material  to  confirm  or 
correct  the  details  already  acquired.  At  this  stage  of  the  growth  of  the  "  His- 
tory "  of  the  expedition,  Mr.  Biddle  from  caprice,  or  business  abstraction, 
abandoned  its  direction,  when  his  literary  structure  was  nearly  or  quite  com- 
plete. It  was  thus  left  to  the  editor,  (whom  popular  esteem  has  credited 
with  the  labor  of  forming  the  work,)  only  to  obtain  a  sketch  of  the  life  of 
Captain  Lewis  from  President  Jefferson,  and  to  place  his  name  on  the  title- 
page.  All  of  this  he  states  in  the  Preface,  but  neglects  to  name  the  indus- 
trious and  judicious  editor  who  wrought  his  work  ready  to  his  hand  ;  yet 
emblazons  his  own  name  in  the  place  of  honor  on  the  title. 
Mr.  Samuel  G.  Drake  says  that  he  was  informed  by  Mr.  Nicholas  Biddle  that 
he  was  himself  the  editor  who  is  referred  to  in  the  preface,  as  having  nearly 
completed  the  work  for  the  press.  This  is  by  far  the  most  complete  edition

of  this  interesting  work,  whose  value  to  the  historian,  the  student,  or  the 
reader  for  amusement,  has  in  no  degree  been  superseded  by  the  numeroas 
relations  of  expeditions  which  have  succeeded  it.  The  explorers  even  an-

This  is  the  most  beautiful  in  typography  and  mechanical  execution  of  all 
the  editions  of  Lewis  and  Clarke's  work.  Its  large  margin,  clear  impression, 
and  noble  appearance,  are  worthy  of  this  model  of  works  of  travel  and  ex- 
ploration. The  edition  in  three  octavo  volumes  printed  in  the  succeeding 
year  by  the  same  house,  is  an  exact  reprint  of  this.  How  large  a  portion  of 
the  work  is  devoted  to  Indian  aflFairs  may  be  ascertained  by  the  headings  of 
chapters  :  ii.  "  Some  Account  of  the  Pawnee  Indians ;  "  iii.  "  Superstition  of 
the  Sioux,  and  Council  with  the  Sioux  Indians ;  "  iv.  "  Council  with  the 
Tetons,  Their  Manners,  &«. ;  "  v.  "  Council  with  the  Mandans ;  "  vi.  "  The 
Party  increase  in  favor  with  the  Mandans  —  Description  of  their  Ceremonies ;  " 
vii.  "  Indian  mode  of  attacking  the  Butfalo  on  the  ice ;  "  xiv.  "  Interview  with 
the  Shoshonies ;  "  xv.  "  Council  with  that  Nation."  Nineteen  of  the  remain- 
ing twenty-one  chapters  are  devoted  to  the  narration  of  the  peculiarities  of 
the  savage  nations  which  were  encountered.

This  edition,  announced  as  prepared  for  the  press  by  Thomas  Rees,  is  an  ex- 
act reproduction  of  that  really  edited  by  Mr.  Biddle,  but  formally  claimed 
by  Paul  Allen,  and  published  at  Philadelphia  in  two  volumes.  Thus  one 
literary  brother  robs  another.  The  London  edition,  however,  lacks  the  Ap- 
pendix of  "  Observations  on  the  Government  of  the  Indians,"  by  Captain 
Lewis,  which  with  meteorological  tables  occupies  sixty-four  pages. 

Another  edition  of  Biddle's  history  of  Lewis  and  Clarke's  expedition  was 
printed  in  Dublin,  under  the  same  title  as  the  London  edition  of  three  vol- 
umes, from  which  it  was  copied  with  the  addition  on  the  title-page  of,  —

Aboriginal  Portfolio.  •  936 

Two  large  folios  containing  each  thirty-six  lithographed  Indian  portraits. 
Each  number  is  prefaced  with  a  page  commencing  "  Advertisement  to  The 
First  —  (and  Second)  — number  of  the  Aboriginal  Portfolio."  No  other  text 
accompanies  the  prints,  and  nothing  liearing  the  remotest  relation  to  a  title. 
No.  1  is  dated  "  Phil.  July  20th,  1835."    No.  2,  "  PA/7.  June,  1835." 

The  portraits  are  each  entitled  with  the  name  and  rank  of  the  Indian  person- 
age represented.  They  have  the  appearance  of  being  authentic,  although 
no  voucher,  or  explanation  of  the  circumstances  under  which  they  were 
executed,  accompanies  the  plates.

The  usual  addenda  to  this  title  in  the  Catalogues  is,  "  The  author  exhibits 
pictures  of  Indian  manners,  which,  though  mournful,  and  disgusting  to  taste, 
are  yet  interesting  to  philosophy,  in  conjunction  with  his  accounts  of  the 
settlers  before  whom  the  Indian  tribes  arc  gradually  vanishing  from  the  earth. 
The  striking  contrasts  of  savage  life  to  the  hackneyed  phases  of  the  socie^ 
of  Europe,  forcibly  impressed  the  mind  and  attracted  the  curiosity  of  this 
exiled  frenchman."  With  this  comment  it  would  be  supposed,  that  th( 
work  is  largely  composed  of  his  observations  of  the  peculiarities  of  the  In- 
dian tribes  he  visited,  as  well  as  narratives  of  adventures  among  them,  copies 
from  printed  works.  But  the  whole  of  his  so-much  vaunted  relations  of 
aboriginal  life  in  America,  are  found  in  Vol.  I.,  pages  312  to  332,  where  th< 
author  describes  the  condition  of  the  Senecas  and  other  Indians  in  the  vicin 
ity  of  Buffalo,  and  on  pages  339  to  379,  where  he  gives  the  narrative  of 
the  captivity  of  Mr.  Johnson  by  the  Shawnese  in  1794,  as  dictated  to  the 
Duke  by  the  captive  himself,  with  a  few  occasional  observations  on  other 
tribes.

which  most  of  the  servants  of  the  Company  who  have  written  accounts  of

The  work  is  almost  a  cyclopaedia  of  material,  relating  to  the  Indians  of  the 
explored  territory.  Nothing  escaped  the  attention,  or  record  of  the  gentlemen 
who  accompanied  the  expedition  ;  and  their  statement  regarding  the  customs, 
character,  and  numbers  of  the  Sioux  and  Chippeway  tribes,  are  among  the 
most  valuable  we  have  of  those  people.  Much  the  largest  portion  of  the 
volumes  is  devoted  to  recording  their  observations  upon  these  Indians.  Six 
of  the  plates  are  representations  of  their  practices,  habitations,  or  features. 
Pages  449  to  459  of  Volume  IL  are  occupied  with  a  comparative  vocabulary 
of  the  Sawk,  Sioux,  Chippeway,  and  Cree  languages.

Part  I.  is  divided  into  eleven  chapters,  whose  subject  titles  indicate  a  much 
wider  range  for  the  work,  than  the  mere  report  of  missions  among  the  Indians. 
Among  them  are,  "  Hints  concerning  the  Origin  of  the  Indian  Nations."  — 
"  Of  the  Language,  Arts,  and  Sciences,  known  among  the  Indians."     "  Of

and  Housekeeping-."  "  Marriages  and  Education  of  Children."  Agri- 
culture and  Breeding  of  Cattle."  "  Of  their  Manner  of  Hunting  and 
Fishing."  "  Diseases  and  Method  of  Cure,  Funerals  and  Mourning." 
"  Political  Constitution  of  the  Delawares  and  Iroquois."  "  Indian  Manner 
of  making  War  and  Peace."  Parts  II.  and  III.  are  devoted  to  the  history 
of  the  Indians  under  the  charge  of  the  Moravian  Mission.  Among  the  sub- 
jects, is  the  narrative  of  that  saddest  of  stories,  the  massacre  of  Gnadenhut- 
ten  and  Salem,  —  saddest,  most  atrocious,  most  damnable  lecord  of  human 
infamy  and  bloody  shame. 

A  remarkable  omission  occurs  in  La  Trobe's  translation.  A  copy  of  the 
first  edition  had  been  presented  to  Zeisberger,  who  expressed  the  greatest 
regrets  that  the  names  of  Eliot  McKee,  and  other  former  enemies  of  the  mis- 
sion had  been  recorded,  as  they  had  since  repented.  At  his  request  the  names 
of  many  who  had  brought  terrible  misfortunes  upon  the  missionaries  and 
their  converts,  were  omitted  in  this  translation.

This  rarest  of  books  on  American  history  has  some  bibliographical  peculiari- 
ties, which  that  very  raritj^  has  hitherto  prevented  the  recognition  of.  A 
large  correspondence  with  book  collectors,  and  not  a  little  familiarity  with 
the  best  of  public  and  private  libraries,  have  brought  to  my  notice  but  three 
perfect  copies  of  this  work.  The  popularity  of  its  subject,  which  ca^used  its 
constant  perusal  at  country  firesides,  combined  with  the  fragility  of  the  soft 
cotton  paper  upon  which  it  is  printed,  insured  its  rapid  destruction. 

It  will  be  observed  that  in  Vol.  I.  there  is  an  apparent  omission  of  four  pages 
in  those  numbered  in  Arabic  figures,  as  the  preliminary  pages  end  with  twelve 
and  the  narrative  begins  with  five.  The  second  volume  has  also  some  pecu- 
liarities not  a  little  perplexing  to  the  collator.  It  is  dated  three  years  later 
than  the  first  volume,  and  the  word  "  Whitehall  "  is  omitted  in  the  title. 

From  the  Roman  numbered  page  iv.  to  the  Arabic  numbered  page  13,  of

Volume  II.,  there  is  an  apparent  hiatus  of  eight  pages,  and  all  the  copies  of 
both  volumes  would  appear  to  be  imperfect.  This  omission  of  eight  num- 
bers is  doubtless  to  be  accounted  for  as  follows  :  The  narrative  portion  of 
Volume  I.  was  as  usual  printed  before  the  Title,  Preface,  and  Table  of  Con- 
tents. The  printer  provided  for  only  a  form  of  four  pages  to  contain  them, 
and  therefore  commenced  tlie  narrative  with  page  5.  On  making  up  the 
volume,  Loudon  found  a  necessity  for  more  room,  and  let  the  preliminary 
matter  run  on  to  page  xii.  When,  however,  the  second  volume  was  printed, 
the  compositor  flattered  himself  that  he  was  too  adroit  to  be  caught  in  a 
similar  blunder,  and  accordingly  commenced  the  narrative  with  page  13, 
without  reflecting  that  the  second  volume  would  require  neither  Preface  or 
Introduction.  On  making  up  the  fonn,  containing  the  Title  and  Table  of 
Contents,  it  was  found  that  only  four  pages  could  be  used,  and  in  consequence 
there  is  a  hiatus  of  eight  pages  (m  nnmhers  only).  Other  irregularities  of  less 
importance  occur  in  this  volume.  Signature  E  ends  with  page  72.  Signa- 
ture G  commences  with  page  85.  The  intervening  twelve  pages  are  there- 
fore also  signed  E.  This  has  led  to  the  omission  of  this  signature  in  some 
copies,  by  the  carelessness  of  the  folder,  and  for  this  reason,  perhaps,  few 
were  ever  jjerfect.  The  reverse  of  page  161,  is  numbered  erroneously  134,  in 
place  of  162.  The  next  page  is  numbered  164  erroneously  instead  of  163, 
and  the  error  is  continued  to  page  169,  which  is  followed  by  another  169, 
thus  restoring  the  correct  enumeration,  so  that  the  true  account  of  the  num- 
ber of  pages  is  at  last  represented  by  the  figures.  At  page  216  the  mischiev- 
ous demon  which  presides  over  types,  again  destroyed  the  consecutiveness  of 
the  numbers,  by  printing  the  succeeding  page  215.  The  next  page  is  also 
numbered  216,  thus  presenting  us  with  two  pages  216,  and  two  pages  215. 
The  omission  which  this  originated,  of  dropping  two  pages  in  the  notation,  is 
perpetuated  through  the  whole  volume,  so  that  there  would  really  be  two 
more  pages  than  are  indicated  by  the  numbers,  were  it  not  for  the  first  error 
of  numbering,  in  putting  13  at  the  top  of  the  page  immediately  following 
page  iv.  Allowing  for  this,  there  are  therefore  six  pages  less  in  Vol.  II.  than 
the  notation  represents.     .     .     . 

But  there  are  other  complications  attending  the  work,  which  will  embarrass 
the  bibliographer.  Indeetl,  it  would  seem  as  if  the  spirit  of  mischance  had 
rioted  in  schemes  of  perplexity,  to  confound  everything  associated  with  it. 
Where  is  Carlisle  and  Whitehall "?  And  who  was  Archibald  Loudon  ?  White- 
hall in  New  York  at  the  foot  of  Lake  Champlain  has  its  Carlisle  in  a  secluded 
hamlet  a  few  miles  distant ;  and  Carlisle  in  Pennsylvania  has  its  Whitehall, 
not  much  more  populous  or  distant.  This  question  happily  can  be  disposed 
of  very  readily,  as  Archibald  I^oudon  printed  a  book  of  poems  unknown  to 
fame,  "  By  Isabella  Oliver  of  Cumberland  Co.  Pennsylvania,  Carlisle,  From 
the  Press  of  A.  Loudon,  Whitehall,  1805."  So  Archibald  Loudon,  printer, 
publisher,  and  author,  resided  at  Whitehall  in  Pennsylvania,  and  printed  his 
book  at  Carlisle  in  the  same  State.  The  author-printer  also  published  a 
volume  of  miscellanies,  an  octavo  serial.  He  is  believed  to  have  been  a  de- 
scendant of  the  Samuel  Loudon,  whose  printing-office  was  sacked,  and  his 
gpe  thrown  into  the  East  River,  by  the  Revolutionary  mob  under  Chris, 
uykinck  in  1775.

The  learned  author  of  this  treatise  on  the  languages  of  the  American  In-

been  preserved,  not  only  by  his  refined  taste  and  scholarship  exhibited  in  his 
works,  but  the  remembrance  of  his  warm  and  generous  nature,  and  tireless 
zeal  in  literature  and  science.  He  died  in  December  1856,  when  only  156  pages

Almost  the  entire  volume  is  devoted  to  the  narration  of  the  peculiarities  of  the 
Aborigines  of  the  Arctic  regions.  Captain  Lyon's  curiosity  led  him  to  ob- 
serve with  great  attention,  the  habits  of  life,  and  traits  of  character  of  the 
different  tribes  of  Esquimaux,  which  his  humanity,  and  good  management 
attracted  to  his  winter  quarters.  They  built  their  villages  near  his  ships, 
and  permitted  a  closer  familiarity,  than  any  other  of  the  Arctic  voyagers  was 
able  to  attain.  His  narrative,  therefore,  abounds  with  incidents  of  their  inter- 
course, and  curious  anecdotes  of  Esquimaux  life. 

Lyon  (Captain  G.  F.). 

A  Brief  Narrative  of  an  unsuccessful  attempt  to  reach  Repulse

This  is  an  entirely  distinct  work  from  the  private  journal  of  Captain  Lyon, 
being  in  fact  his  official  report.  The  work  contains  some  material  regarding 
his  intercourse  with  the  Jisquimaux,  not  repeated  in  the  Journal;  and  of  the 
plates,  three  are  illustrative  of  their  sea-craft,  burials,  and  comparative  physi- 
ognomy,—  also  used  only  in  this  narrative.

The  journal  of  Lemuel  Lyon,  containing  some  incidents  of  the  fatal  expedi-

and  pp.  257  and  258  with  a  short  vocabulary  of  the  Atnah  dialect,  and  another 
of  an  unknown  tribe,  on  page  376.  Both  parts  of  the  work  of  this  intrepid 
traveller,  are  filled  with  accounts  of  the  tribes  of  Indians,  who  inhabited 
the  regions  traversed  by  him  three  quarters  of  a  century  ago.  No  writer 
upon  the  subject  of  Indian  customs  and  peculiarities,  has  given  us  a  more 
minute,  careful  and  interesting  relation  of  them,  as  indeed  none  were  bet- 
ter fitted  to  do,  by  long  experience  among  them  as  a  fur  trader.  His  inves- 
tigations, although  pursued  at  so  early  a  period  of  Arctic  exploration,  were 
remarkable  for  their  accuracy  ;  Sir  John  Franklin  more  than  once  express- 
ing his  surprise  at  being  able  to  corroborate  their  correctness  in  his  own 
explorations.

ing a  biographical  portrait,  fills  all  the  spare  canvass  with  those  agreeable 
pictures  of  border  life  with  which  his  subject  was  associated.  His  biogra- 
phies are  crowded  with  the  most  interesting  incidents  of  Indian  warfare, 
and  other  scenes  in  aboriginal  life.  Of  the  seven  persons  whose  lives  are 
commemorated  in  this  volume,  four  were  Indian  fighters,  the  narration  of 
whose  exploits  fill  the  first  three  hundred  pages. 

McCall. 

The  History  of  Georgia,  containing  Brief  Sketches  of  the  most

Seymour  ^  Williams,  1811.  972 

Although  the  title  indicates  the  intention  to  bring  the  history  down  to  the 
date  of  publication,  the  narrative  is  suspended  with  the  declaration  of  peace 
in  1783.  Both  volumes  are  largely  devoted  to  the  history  of  the  border 
warfare  with  the  Creeks  and  Cherokees.  Numerous  incidents  relating  to  the 
savages  of  these  nations,  and  their  sanguinary  attacks  u]X)n  the  frontiers, 
with  sketches  of  their  chiefs,  and  of  the  loyalist  refugees  who  led  them,  are 
narrated.  These  were  derived  in  many  instances  directly  from  the  lips  of 
some  of  the  survivors  of  these  bloody  scenes,  from  manuscripts,  or  from  printed 
documents,  no  longer  accessible  to  the  student  of  history.

These  letters  form  an  exceedingly  interesting,  and  doubtless  truthful  narrative 
of  the  astonishing  endurance  of  the  United  States  troops,  and  the  fortitude 
and  courage  of  the  Indians,  during  the  Seminole  war.

A  collection  of  didactic  pieces,  having  little  history  of  any  kind,  and  none  of  the

worthless  as  a  novel,  or  a  poem,  for  any  purpose  in  which  facts  are  of  the 
slightest  consequence.

Indians,  Friendly  and  Unfriendly.  Remarks  of  Hon.  Richard  C. 
McCormick  of  Arizona,  delivered  in  the  House  of  Representa-

columns.      Washington,  1870.  981 

Mr.  McCormick's  speech  is  a  document  of  more  interest  and  value  than  many 
more  lengthy  treatises. 

It  is  the  testimony  of  an  intelligent  gentleman,  who  had  spent  several  years 
near  the  haunts  of  the  Apaches,  and  knew  personally  of  the  matters  of  which 
he  spoke.  His  relations  of  their  atrocities,  and  the  attempts  to  subdue  them, 
confirm  the  prevalent  belief,  that  they  are  the  only  untamable  savages  of  the 
continent.  The  wild  and  fierce  Camanches,  as  well  as  the  degraded  and 
cowardly  Digger  Indian  tribes,  have  succumbed  to  the  strong  hand  of  civil- 
ized warfare,  while  the  Apache  alone  defies  it.  Mr.  McCormick  enumerates 
one  hundred  and  fifty-four  citizens  who  had  been  massacred  within  four 
years,  out  of  a  population  of  little  more  than  ten  times  that  number,  in 
Tucson  alone.

The  author  resided  more  than  twenty  years  among  the  Ottawas,  Pottawat- 
omies,  and  Miamis  as  a  missionary.  During  this  jwriod,  he  kept  a  jour- 
nal of  events  and  incidents  of  Indian  life,  which  with  his  letters  and  re- 
ports, formed  a  great  mass  of  material  from  which  to  form  his  history.  It 
is  largely  composed  of  the  records  of  personal  experience  ;  but  is  far  from 
being  a  mere  missionary  report  of  religious  progress.  It  is  in  fact  the  work 
of  a  highly  intelligent  man,  who  recorded  with  the  judgment  of  a  historian, 
while  he  labored  with  tlie  zeal  of  an  ecclesiastic ;  and  the  result  of  his  early 
philosophical  observations  has  been,  to  give  us  a  very  valuable  record  of  the 
characteristic  traits  of  the  Indian  tribes  he  lived  among.  The  first  forty 
pages  are  occupied  with  remarks  on  the  origin  of  the  Indian  tribes.  The 
awfully  rapid  destruction  of  the  aboriginal  race,  by  contact  with  the  whites ; 
the  murders,  the  debauchery,  and  superstition  of  the  Indians,  as  well  as 
their  nobler  traits,  receive  a  large  share  of  the  author's  attention.

The  first  edition  of  this  work  was  published  without  the  author's  name.  It 
however,  as  well  as  the  second,  was  a  mere  sketch  of  the  design  and  scope

and  valuable  essay  upon  the  subject  of  which  it  treats.  The  character  of

This  work  was  first  printed  at  Dayton,  Ohio,  in  1838.  The  author  had  the 
advantage  of  personal  communication  with  the  families  and  neighbors  of 
these  Indian  fighters,  and  thus  secured  many  details  of  their  exploits  among 
the  savages,  which  would  otherwise  have  been  lost.  His  own  experience 
reaches  back  to  the  latter  part  of  the  last  century.

Much  the  largest  portion  of  these  volumes,  is  devoted  to  the  narration  of  inci- 
dents of  travel  among  the  Indians  of  the  territory ;  descriptions  of  the  life, 
habits,  and  character  of  the  different  tribes  inhabiting  it,  and  the  relations 
of  the  Hudson's  Bay  Company  to  them.  All  of  the  statements  of  the  author 
confirm  the  most  authentic  accounts  of  others,  and  some  of  them  have  the 
novelty  which  the  experience  of  a  quarter  of  a  century  must  afibrd  to  an 
author  The  last  volume  terminates  with  a  vocabulary  of  Indian  dialects, 
occupying  the  last  six  pages.  Besides  the  relation  of  personal  adventures 
among  the  Indians,  the  author  has  narrated  the  circumstances  connected 
with  some  of  those  appalling  massacres,  by  which  the  employees  of  the  Hud- 
son's Bay  Co.,  at  several  of  their  lone  posts,  have  been  swept  off. 

He  believes  in  the  American  origin  of  syphilis,  but  without  offering  much

he  is  sufficient  authority,  is  very  interesting  to  ethnologists,  —  that  he  could 
make  himf^elf  sufficiently  understood,  for  business  purposes,  to  all  the  tribes 
from  Labrador,  to  Columbia  on  the  Pacific,  by  speaking  the  Abnaquis  dia-

The  anther  of  this  history  passed  a  number  of  years  in  Brazil,  returned  to 
his  own  country,  established  a  school  near  Douro,  and  wrote  this  history, 
which  was  first  published  in  1572.  These  principal  events  in  his  life,  estab- 
lished sufficiently  his  ability  to  perform  well  the  task,  the  results  of  which 
he  offers  us.  His  work  would,  however,  have  received  but  little  if  any  of  our 
attention,  if  he  was  not  the  only  narrator  of  the  characteristics  of  the  Indians 
of  Brazil  at  the  early  day  of  his  narrative.  The  Portuguese  have  always 
been  cold  to  the  influence  of  literature,  and  their  explorers  and  warriors 
have  accordingly  left  few  records  of  their  experience  and  adventures. 
Chapters  x.  to  xiii.,  pp.  108  to  15-3,  are  devoted  to  descriptions  of  the  man- 
ners, customs,  wars,  treatment  of  prisoners  by  the  Indians,  and  accounts

Mante't?  association  with  the  frontier  war  between  the  American  colonists  and 
the  Canadian  French  and  Indians,  did  not  commence  nntil  1764,  the  last  year 
of"  hostilities  with  these  allies.  He  seems,  however,  to  have  made  good  use  of 
his  o|)])ortunities  to  gain  information.  He  describes  with  great  detail  the 
campaigns  of  Washington  and  Braddock,  of  Generals  Abercrombie  and 
Amherst,  and  of  Colonels  Bradstreet  and  Boquet.  The  last  chapter  gives 
the  principal  incidents  of  Pontiac's  war.  The  eighteen  large  folding  maps  and 
plans  which  should  accompany  the  text,  are  often  missing.

It  is  difficult  to  speak  of  this  splendid  work  in  such  terms  as  its  excellence 
deserves,  without  seeming  to  be  extravagant  in  laudation.  The  author  has 
brought  the  art  of  photography  to  aid  for  the  first  time,  in  illustrating  a 
work  principally  treating  of  the  aborigines  of  America.  Much  more  than 
half  of  the  plates,  so  beautifully  executed  as  we  find  them  in  these  volumes, 
are  illustrative  of  phases  in  the  common  life  of  the  Indians  of  South 
America,  of  scenes  in  their  warfare,  or  barbarous  rites ;  or  of  physiognomical 
peculiarities  of  the  different  tribes;  exhibited  by  portraits  of  representative 
individuals.  Nothing  effected  by  engraving  has  been  published,  since  the 
days  of  the  brothers  De  Bry,  so  elaborate,  so  rich,  and  so  perfect  in  drawing, 
scenery,  costume,  and  anatomical  correctness.  The  greatest  difference  we  per- 
ceive is  in  the  marks  of  that  advance  of  art,  in  more  faithful  portraying 
nature  according  to  nature,  instead  of  attempting  it  by  blind  adherence  to  the 
rules  of  art.  The  savages  in  these  pictures  are  not  endowed  with  the  noble 
features  of  the  Greek  deities.

This  is  an  essay  written  in  such  grave  historic  strain,  as  to  be  often  taken  for 
veritable  biography.  It  is,  however,  nothing  but  pure  fiction,  and  not  even 
original  at  that.  Mr.  Marcy  levied  upon  Dr.  Samuel  Mitchell  for  the 
material  to  construct  his  essay,  and  carried  it  away  bodily.  Dr.  Mitchell 
wrote  and  printed  an  account  of  Tammany  several  years  before.  Mr.  Mar- 
cy's  oration  and  life  of  Tammany  were  first  printed  at  Troy,  N.  Y.

Captain  Marcy's  report  affords  the  reader  some  authentic  information  regard- 
ing the  peculiar  customs  of  the  Indians  of  the  southern  plains.  Their  mode 
of  warfare,  their  invariable  violation  of  the  chastity  of  female  prisoners,  and 
the  construction  of  their  dwellings  and  villages,  are  more  particularly  de- 
scribed in  Chapters  viii.  and  x.  The  Appendix  contains  a  comparative 
vocabulary  of  the  Comanches  and  Wichitas,  of  five  pages ;  and  one  of  the 
plates  is  a  view  of  a  Wichita  village.

Colonel  Marcy's  volume  is  the  result  of  a  lifetime  of  frontier  experience,  dur- 
ing which  period  almost  everything  which  he  describes  has  changed  or  passed 
away,  except  the  natural  features  of  the  country.  No  writer  has  had  more 
intimate  communication  with  the  warlike  tribes  of  the  plains,  and  his  official 
relation  gives  authenticity  to  his  statements.  One  of  the  most  interesting 
portions  of  his  work  is  the  narration  of  the  subjection  of  one  of  the  fierce 
tribes  of  the  Comanches,  numbering  more  than  eight  thousand,  and  of  the 
selection,  after  long  explorations,  of  a  beautiful  valley,  thirty  miles  long,  by 
more  than  half  that  breadth,  for  their  settlement.  Here,  expatriated  from 
their  native  plains  and  imprisoned  by  high  mountains,  beyond  which  they 
could  not  stray  without  danger  of  being  declared  at  war  with  the  govern- 
ment, they  were  deported.  Even  here  the  cupidity  of  the  whites  could  not 
give  them  peace.  The  Texan  hordes  of  banditti  coveted  the  fertile  valley, 
and  murdered  or  drove  away  its  occupants.

The  first  moiety  of  the  title  well  expresses  the  scope  of  a  greater  part  of  the 
book.  It  is  principally  devoted  to  a  study  of  the  physical  and  mental  works 
of  the  ancient  rulers  of  Peru,  the  wonderful  race  of  the  Incas.  Few  persons 
have,  in  later  years,  been  better  fitted  for  this  task  than  Mr.  Markham.  His 
familiarity  with  the  Quichua  language  has  been  more  lately  exhibited,  in  the 
production  of  a  treatise  on  that  language.  In  the  present  work  he  gives 
translations  of  the  poems  and  dramas,  composed  by  the  Indians,  with  a 
grammatical  analysis  and  vocabulary  of  their  language.

Mr.  Markham  did  not  exhaust  the  suhject  of  the  Incas,  in  his  first  work, 
Cuzco  Sf  Lima.  In  this  he  devotes  Chapters  vii.  to  x.,  pp.  108  to  180,  to 
"  The  Aymara  Indians,  their  antiquities,  their  condition.  Narrative  of  the 
Insurrection  of  the  last  of  the  Incas  in  1780."  Chapters  xii.  to  xiv.,  pp.  199 
to  240,  are  fiUed  with  a  "  Description  of  The  Province  of  Caravaya,  its 
Aboriginal  inhabitants,  their  cultivation  and  use  of  the  Coca,"  etc.  The 
wonderful  story  of  Tupac  Amaru,  the  last  of  the  Incas,  his  insurrection, 
defeat,  and  horrible  execution,  are  nowhere  related  at  length  as  in  Mr. 
Markham's  volume.

This  remnant  of  the  literature  of  the  Incas,  was  preserved  until  about  1770, 
by  the  quipus,  or  knotted  calendar ;  when  Dr.  Valdoz,  who  had  often  wit- 
nessed the  representation  of  the  drama  by  Indian  actors,  before  the  ill-fated 
Incji,  Tupac  Amaru,  reduced  it  to  writing.  From  this  copy,  written  by  the 
Cura  in  pure  Quichua,  Mr.  Markham  has  translated  this  English  version. 
Its  great  antiquity  is  authenticated,  not  so  much  by  the  existence  of  several 
copies  in  MS.  as  by  the  conformity  of  wide-spread  traditions,  and  the  entire 
absence  of  every  Spanish  word.  There  is  not  the  slightest  trace  of  ideas, 
derived  from  civilization  or  Christianity.  It  has  received  the  sanction  of  such 
scholars  as  Drs.  Riviero,  Tschudi,  and  Barranca,  who  were  convinced  that 
it  was  composed  long  before  the  Conquest  of  Peru  by  Pizarro.

There  is  not  a  little  discrepiincy  in  the  views  of  bibliographers,  regarding  the 
issue  of  this  edition.  White  Kennett  makes  it  the  first  of  the  complete 
English  editions,  placing  it  under  the  date  of  1.597.  What  authority  he  had 
for  his  conclusion,  is  not  even  guessed  at  by  the  authorities  of  the  present 
day.  Mr.  Sabin  simply  quotes  Mr.  Rich's  note,  to  the  edition  of  1612: 
"  Some  copies  are  without  date."  Ternaux  and  Stevens  do  not  notice  it. 
It  would  seem  from  this  negative  testimony,  to  have  been  even  rarer  than 
the  editions  of  1612  and  1628.  The  name  of  the  author  of  this  work,  was 
Pietro  Martir,  of  Anghiera,  in  Milan,  a  name  which  he  latinized  into  Angle- 
ria.  There  is  no  more  warrant  for  styling  him  Anglerius  than  Milanoise. 
He  is  recognized  by  all  Spanish  writers  by  his  patronymic,  anglicized  to 
Peter  Manyr. 

He  was  an  Italian  scholar  of  a  noble  family  of  Milan,  bom  1455,  and  died  at 
Grenada  in  Spain,  1526.  He  possessed  eminent  ability  and  learning,  and 
is  believed  to  be  the  first  writer  who  noticed  in  his  works  the  discovery 
of  America  by  his  countryman  Columbus  ;  as  he  is  the  first  who  published 
a  treatise  descriptive  of  the  peculiarities  of  the  natives  of  the  New  World, 
the  first  decade  having  been  printed  in  1504,  and  the  first  three  decades  in 
1516.  It  was  not  until  1530,  that  the  complete  work  in  eight  decades  was 
printed.  Eden  translated  the  first  edition  of  three  decades,  and  piintcd  it 
with  some  matters  copied  from  Oviedo  and  other  authors,  in  15.")5.  Willes 
followed  his  example,  and  produced  the  three  decades  with  part  of  the  fourth, 
and  some  additional  material  drawn  from  several  historians.  The  first  com- 
plete English  edition  was  printed  in  1597. 

Martyr  accompanied  the  Count  Tendilla  to  Spain,  in  1487,  and  was  ordained 
a  priest  two  years  after  the  discovery  of  America.  He  was  in  such  high 
esteem,  that  he  was  appointed  tutor  to  their  children,  by  Ferdinand  and 
Isabella.  He  was  sent  m  1501,  on  a  dij)lomatic  mission  to  Egypt,  of  which 
he  gives  a  relation  in  one  of  his  works,  entitled  Delegatione  Babylonicce. 
Pope  Leo  X.  appointed  him  Prothonotaire  Apostolique,  and  in  1505  he  was 
made  Dean  of  the  Chapter  of  Granada  Cathedral.  In  this  city  he  died  in 
1525  or  1526.  He  was  the  contemporary  and  friend  of  the  great  navigators, 
discoverers,  and  conquerors,  —  Columbus,  Vasco  de  Gama,  Cortes,  Magellan, 
Cabot,  and  Vespucius.  Beside  the  great  advantage  thus  acquired,  his 
official  position  as  member  of  the  council  for  the  Indies,  afforded  him  the  in- 
spection of  documents  of  undoubted  authenticity.  His  work  therefore,  com- 
posed from  sources  of  such  importance,  and  with  such  aids,  has  always  been 
placed  in  the  highest  rank  of  authorities,  on  the  history  of  the  first  association 
of  the  Indians  with  Europeans.  Munoz  qualifies  these  encomiums,  and 
criticizes  severely  Martyr's  want  of  order,  and  neglect  to  consult  original 
documents.  Perfect  copies  of  either  of  the  English  translations,  as  well  as 
of  the  first  edition  in  Latin,  are  rare.  A  copy  of  the  edition  of  1597  has  been 
recently  sold  in  New  York  for  seventy-five  dollars.

It  will  be  seen  that  this  edition  possesses  double  the  preliminary  pages  of 
either  the  preceding  or  sncceeding  titles.  This  would  give  some  color  to 
the  hypothesis,  that  the  edition  of  1612  was  the  first  complete  English  one; 
as  the  omission  of  the  "Epistola  Dedicatoria"  from  them  both  would  seem 
to  have  been  an  after-thought.  Yet  there  is  nothing  less  certain  than  a 
deduction  drawn  from  common  sense,  in  analyzing  the  motives  of  an  Eng- 
lish publisher,  two  centuries  ago.  The  text  of  the  three  editions,  and  the 
address  "  To  the  Reader,"  are  in  every  particular  identical.

An  edition  was  printed  in  1810  at  Leeds,  in  octavo,  with  the  title,  A  Narra- 
tive of  the  Life  of  John  Marrant,  of  New  York  in  North  America,  giving  an 
account  of  his  conversion  when  onli/  14  years  of  age,  and  being  at  last  taken  liy  an

of  his  conversion  of  the  king  of  the  Cherokees,  and  his  daughter,  etc. 
This  book  is  the  relation  of  a  religious  enthusiast,  or  of  an  impostor,  the  two 
characters,  unhappily  for  our  trust  in  humanity,  exhibiting  sometimes  re- 
markably similar  traits.  Although  the  pamphlet  has  little  or  no  value,  ex- 
cept what  its  rarity  bestows,  it  has  arrived  at  the  distinction  of  being 
f)rinted  in  two  editions ;  but  the  bibliopole  has  learned  little  of  books  who 
las  not  discovered  that  this  is  no  insignia  of  merit.

tory of  the  country.  Not  only  were  very  rare  works  of  that  class  reprinted, 
but  original  treatises  and  MSS.  of  the  most  valuable  character  were  pub- 
lished, and  very  precious  documents,  like  Gookins'  Historical  Collections  of 
the  Indians  of  N.  E.,  and  Niles'  History  of  the  Indian  Wars  of  N.  E.,  were 
for  the  first  time  made  accessible  to  the  public.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  the 
later  volumes  have  assumed  more  the  character  of  state  documents.  The 
first  series  of  ten  volumes  contains  fifty-two  treatises  on  Indian  history,  lan- 
guages, or  origin  ;  including  Roger  Williiims'  Key  into  the  Languages  of  N. 
E.,  35  pages ;  Gookins,  His  Collection  of  Indians,  141  pages,  etc.  The  second 
series  has  fifteen  tracts  on  the  same  subjects,  includin.g  Edwards'  Observations 
on  the  Mohegan  Language,  with  Duponceau's  Notes,  Winslow's  Accoimt  of  the 
Religion,  Manners,  and  Customs  of  the  Indians  of  N.  E.  But  it  is  in  the  third 
series  that  these  collections  excel  in  the  number  and  value  of  their  essays  and 
histories  of  the  aborigines.  Sixty-one  tracts,  illustrating  almost  every  feat- 
ure of  their  character  and  history,  are  either  reproduced,  or  for  the  first  time 
brought  to  light  in  these  volumes.  Seven  of  the  eleven  reports,  to  the  "  Cor- 
poration for  the  Propagation  of  the  Gospel  among  the  Indians,"  commonly 
known  as  the  Eliot  Tracts,  are  reprinted  in  this  series.  Captain  John  Un-

This  work,  printed  in  London  in  1676,  as  will  be  seen  by  the  title,  covers  a 
period  of  but  little  more  than  a  year.  An  edition  was  printed  in  Boston 
nearly  simultaneously;  but  the  reverend  author,  not  entirely  free  from  an 
author's  vanity,  in  the  next  year  hurried  through  the  press  another  work, 
entitled,  A  Relation  of  the  Troubles  which  have  hap'ned  in  New-England  by 
reason  of  the  Indians  there.  From  the  year  1614  to  the  year  1675.  He  was 
stimulated  to  this  literary  labor  by  the  knowledge  that  his  reverend  brother, 
Wm.  Hubbard,  was  engaged  upon  the  same  work.  Indeed,  the  two  treatises 
were  probably  almost  simultaneously  passing  through  the  press  of  John 
Forster.  In  his  preface,  Mather  exhibits  a  little  trace  of  acerbity,  when  he 
asserts,  "  This  following  relation  was  written  neer  upon  a  yea*-  ago ;  since 
which  a  reverend  author  hath  emitted  a  narrative  of  the  troubles  which 
hapi)ened  by  the  Indians :  *  *  nevertheless  *  *  most  of  the  things  here  in- 
sisted on,  are  not  so  much  as  once  taken  notice  of  in  that  narrative."  Both 
of  Mather's  histories  of  Indian  wars,  are  exceedingly  rare.  They  have 
been  reprinted  by  Mr.  Drake.  The  present  one  is  included  in  his  work  en- 
titled, History  of  King  Philip's  War.  The  second  Mr.  Drake  reprinted  with

cres of  the  Indians  by  the  whites  aided  by  the  Lord. 

Of  captivities  of  whites  among  the  Indians,  and  of  their  restoration  to  liberty ; 
but  no  account  of  the  release  of  the  wretched  Pequods  and  Wampanoags, 
sold  into  slavery  in  the  West  Indies.  Even  at  this  early  day,  the  dilettanti 
notion  of  large  paper  editions,  was  in  fasliion.  In  the  Post  Angel,  a  periodi- 
cal published  in  London  in  1701,  we  find  a  notice  of  Mather's  forthcoming 
history,  in  these  words  :  "  I  had  the  Happiness  to  be  acquainted  with  Mr. 
Mather,  and  have  heard  him  preach  many  Excellent  Sermons,  in  New  Eng- 
land ;  being  once  in  his  Company,  he  shewed  me  his  Library  and  I  do  think 
he  has  one  of  the  best  (for  a  Private  J.,ibrary)  that  I  ever  saw.  .  .  To 
Encourage  Subscribers  to  this  Great  and  Useful  Work,  he  that  brings  the 
first  payment  for  Six  Books,  is  promised  a  Seventh  Gratis,  in  Larger  or 
Smaller  Paper."  The  "  Magnalia"  was  therefore  printed  in  two  sizes,  of 
which  the  larger  brings  $100  to  $150,  being  much  the  rarer  form  of  a  book 
by  no  means  common  in  either.

The  author  was  very  assiduous  in  collecting  facts  relating  to  the  condition, 
history,  and  character  of  the  Indians  of  Peru  and  Brazil,  particularly  of  the 
unexplored  districts,  in  the  valley  of  the  Maranon.  He  studied  them  with 
the  zeal  of  a  scholar,  and  the  analysis  of  an  ethnologist,  and  although  his 
opportunities  were  comparatively  narrow,  and  his  tour  very  rapid,  he  gleaned 
with  great  industry.  He  copies,  in  pp.  463  to  563,  from  the  Mercurio  Per- 
uana, the  report  of  the  reestablishment  of  the  missions  among  the  savage 
tribes  of  Manoa,  where  fifteen  missionaries  had  been  murdered  a  few  years 
before.  At  pages  474  to  477,  is  given  the  official  report  of  the  discovery  and 
exploration  of  a  valley,  hitherto  unapproached  by  the  whites,  and  in  which 
resided  a  tribe  of  Indians,  whose  unappeasable  hostility  had  heretofore  ut- 
terly forbidden  intercourse  with  them.

The  work  is  largely  devoted  to  Indian  affairs.  The  royal  author  is  the 
same  who  subsequently  exhibited  his  zeal  for  explorations  among  the  savage 
races  of  America,  by  publishing  the  princely  volumes  of  Travels  in  the  Inte- 
rior of  N.  A.  in  1832  and  1833.  The  attention  of  the  author  was,  in  both 
tours,  drawn  primarily  to  the  aborigines,  though  not  so  distinctly,  in  his 
travels  in  Brazil,  as  subsequently  in  North  America.     The  greater  shyness

of  the  wild  natives  of  South  America,  the  impenetrable  forests  through 
which  they  roam,  and  their  indisposition  to  gather  in  large  communities, 
offer  almost  insuperable  obstacles  to  intimate  association  with  them.  The 
plates  are  principally  illustrative  of  the  habits  and  appearance  of  the  Indian 
tribes  he  encountered.

The  quarto  volume  is  the  text  of  one  of  the  most  beautiful  and  costly  of 
works,  having  the  American  Indians  for  their  subject.  The  wiseacre  who 
gave  it  an  English  dress,  takes  credit  to  himself  in  his  preface,  for  omitting 
the  very  extensive  vocabularies  found  in  the  German  edition,  occupying 
nearly  one  quarter  of  volume  second,  or  pp.  455  to  560.  The  volume  of 
plates  contains  eighty-one  vignettes  and  full-page  colored  engravings  of  the 
most  perfect  drawing,  and  beautiful  execution.  Forty -nine  of  these  are  illus- 
trative of  some  phase  in  Indian  life  and  character.  Two  English  editions 
of  these  plates  have  been  issued,  the  last,  so  much  inferior  to  the  other  as  to 
be  unworthy  of  comparison,  was  published  by  Mr.  Bohn  to  meet  a  continued 
demand  for  the  work.  The  first  edition  brings  a  large  price,  usually  100  to 
125  dollars.

Mr.  Mayer's  work  is  probably  the  most  complete  and  exhaustive  history  of 
Mexico.  The  narration  of  the  conquest  of  the  Aztec  race,  with  a  view  of 
its  civilization,  occupy  the  first  124  pages.  The  remainder  of  the  work  is 
largely  devoted  to  the  history,  character,  and  condition  of  the  native  races. 
It  is  particularly  valuable  for  its  statistics  obtained  from  governmental  docu- 
ments, regarding  the  number  and  tribes  of  Indians  residing  in  each  state. 
He  enumerates  1 53  nations  or  tribes  of  aborigines,  with  a  total  population  in 
1842,  of  4,354,000.  Of  the  numerous  illustrations,  more  than  forty  exhibit 
some  phase  in  the  life,  habits,  or  antiquities  of  these  native  tribes.

The  fiddress  delivered  before  the  Maryland  Society,  is  in  this  work,  by  notes, 
biogra])hical  sketches,  and  an  appendix,  increased  to  a  volume.  When  Mr. 
Mayer  commenced  his  defense  of  Colonel  Cresap,  he,  in  common  with  all  who 
had  jiiven  the  subject  any  attention,  believed  that  the  letter  of  General  Clarke, 
which  fully  vindicated  the  memory  of  Colonel  Cresap  from  the  charge  of 
murdering  Logan's  family,  had  never  reached  President  Jefferson,  to  whom  it 
was  addressed,  as  he  never  modified  his  aspersions.  But  later  examinationB 
of  Mr.  Jefferson's  papers,  have  resulted  in  the  discovery  of  an  unhappy  fact, 
for  the  candor  of  ';hat  statesman.  He  had  received  the  vindication  two  years 
before  he  published  his  testimony  in  1800,  to  the  veritability  of  Logan's 
speech.  The  testimony  i-egarding  the  celebrated  speech  of  the  Indian  chief, 
does  not,  however,  disprove  its  deliver}'  by  him,  in  all  its  essential  elements  of 
eloquence  and  pathos.  In  fact,  to  doubt  its  utterance  by  Logan,  is  to  credit 
Colonel  Gibson,  a  gentleman  who  never  before  or  after  wrote  or  spoke  in 
other  than  the  plainest  terms,  with  the  composition  of  the  wonderful  speech. 
Mr.  Mayer  naiTates  at  length,  the  manner  and  period  of  the  death  of  Logan, 
which  were  for  a  long  time  in  doubt.  The  chief  was  assassinated  by  one  of 
his  own  tribe,  in  revenge  for  chastising  his  wife,  —  a  privilege  which  Indian 
sachems  claimed  over  every  member  of  their  clan.

massacre  of  the  Cheyennes  in  1863,  by  the  forces  under  the  Kev.  Colonel 
Chivington  at  Sand  Creek,  that  we  cannot  but  wonder  if  their  religion  was

the  last  of  the  race  of  pioneers,  or  perhaps  their  immediate  descendants. 
He  brought  to  his  work  the  genuine  zeal  of  an  antiquary,  and  was  peculiarly

material  in  the  history  of  border  warfare,  Indian  massacres,  biographical

["  Memorial  containing  a  statement  of  facts  responsive  to  the  observations 
sent  by  the  Ministers  of  England  to  the  Courts  of  Europe."] 
The  very  curious  history  of  this  memoir  deserves  attention  from  all  students 
of  American  history.  At  the  sun-ender  of  Fort  Necessity  by  Washington, 
his  Journal  of  the  Expedition,  together  with  the  letters  of  Braddock  to  the 
Biutish  Ministry,  and  his  instructions  to  Washington,  were  seized  by  the 
French  victors.  They  were  immediately  transmitted  to  France,  and  by 
order  of  the  French  king,  printed  and  sent  to  every  court  of  Europe,  as  in- 
dicating the  aggressive  character  of  the  British.  From  evidence  drawn  from 
these  documents,  they  charge  Washington  with  the  murder  of  Jumonville. 
This  was  the  second  publication  of  any  of  Washington's  writings,  and  the 
first  notice  the  public  had  of  his  Journal.  It  was  translated  and  printed  in 
New  York,  in  1757,  under  the  title  of  A  Memorial,  etc.,  and  the  same  year 
in  Dublin  under  the  title  oi  Review  of  Military  Operations  in  N.  A.,  and  Jour- 
nal of  Major  Washington.  It  is  very  clear  from  the  French  relation  that 
Jumonville  was  approaching  Washington  on  an  embassy  of  peace,  but  that 
Washington,  unwilling  to  trust  him,  had  ordered  his  advance  to  be  fired 
upon.

[Narrative  of  his  Captivity  among  the  Oneidas,  by  the  Rev.  Father  Pierre 
Milet,  of  the  Society  of  Jesus.] 
The  Manuscript  of  this  narrative  of  Father  Milet's  captivity  among  the 
Oneidas,  written  by  himself,  was  found  by  the  Hon.  H.  C.  Murphy  in  Hol- 
land ;  and  we  owe  this  fine  historic  relic  of  the  early  history  of  the  Colony 
of  New  York,  in  addition  to  many  others  of  importance,  to  the  research  and 
good  fortune  of  that  gentleman.  Father  Milet,  during  his  captivity  of  nearly 
two  years,  acquired  such  an  intimate  knowledge  of  the  peculiar  characteristics 
of  the  Onondagas  and  Oneidas,  among  whom  he  was  a  prisoner,  that  we  can 
now  only  regret  that  he  did  not  leave  us  a  more  full  and  complete  narrative 
than  his  brief  account  affords.  Such  as  it  is  however,  it  gives  us,  in  connec- 
tion with  Father  Jogues'  narrative,  nearly  all  we  know  from  personal  obser- 
vation, of  the  Five  Nations  at  this  period.

[Memoir,  or  rapid  view  of  my  different  voynges,  and  of  my  residence  in  the 
Creek  Nation.  By  General  Milfort,  Tastenegy,  or  Great  War  Chief  of  the 
Creek  Nation,  and  Brifiadicr-General  of  the  French  Hepublic,  Paris,  1802.] 

The  narrative  of  this  extraordinary  man's  career  amon;^  the  Creek  Indians, 
has  so  much  of  the  romantic  in  the  design  of  the  author,  that  the  reader  is 
at  first  predisposed  to  think  lightly  of  its  veracity.  There  are,  however, 
corroborative  circumstances  which  confirm  his  statements,  and  induce  us  to 
give  a  fair  degree  of  credence  to  his  narrative. 

At  the  time  of  his  arrival  among  the  Creeks,  a  half  breed  named  McGillivray, 
had  obtained  .so  great  an  influence  over  them  by  his  talent  for  organization, 
that  he  had  actually  accjuired  the  rank  of  head  chief.  Milfort  was  received 
by  McGillivray  with  great  cordiality ;  married  his  Indian  sister,  and  in  a  short 
time  was  made  the  commander  of  the  warriors  of  the  nation.  He  led  them 
against  both  the  Sj)aniards  and  the  Americans,  and  by  his  aid  the  Indians 
defeated  the  forces  of  each  in  several  skirmishes.  Milfort  remained  with  the

This  narrative  of  a  frightful  journey,  across  the  continent  through  British 
America,  is  crowded  with  details  of  aboriginal  life  as  seen  by  the  author,  who 
gained  an  additional  claim  to  his  title  of  nobility,  by  the  fortitude  with 
which  he  endured  the  privations  and  extremities  which  befell  his  party. 
From  the  imminent  dangers  of  drowning,  assassination,  and  starvation,  the 
authors  were  rescued  by  the  adroitness,  daring,  and  fidelity  of  an  Assini- 
boine  Indian,  and  his  squaw.  Several  of  the  plates  are  illustrative  of  these 
scenes  of  peril,  and  of  his  rescuers.

Buffalo:  1862.  1069 

This  work,  written  by  the  venerable  Bishop,  is  a  narration  of  some  of  the  prin- 
cipal incidents  in  the  lives  and  sufferings  of  the  Jesuit  and  Franciscan  mis- 
sionaries among  the  Indians  of  New  York.  Obtaining  his  materials  from 
the  documents  and  relations  of  the  missions,  his  history  could  not  but  be 
authentic.  Chapters  iv.  and  v.,  pp.  39  to  60,  are  occupied  with  descriptions 
of  the  Indians,  and  vi.,  vii.,  and  viii.,  with  "  The  Host  of  Martyrs,"  "  Chau- 
monot  compiling  his  grammar  on  the  frozen  earth,"  "  Broebeuf  with  his 
collar-bone  broken,  crawling  on  the  frozen  ground,  and  sleeping  in  the 
snow,"  and  finally,  with  "  Father  Lallcmant,  burnt  at  the  stake,  under  in- 
credible tortures."  The  work  also  narrates  how  Fathers  Viele,  Gamier, 
Jogues,  and  Goupil  followed  them,  through  the  same  road,  to  heaven ;  how 
others,  beaten,  robbed,  and  tortured,  dragged  their  worn  and  wounded  bodies 
from  village  to  village,  to  baptize  a  dying  child,  or  bestow  the  la.st  offices  of 
their  religion  on  a  captive,  perishing  at  the  stake.

The  Missionary  Pioneer,  or  a  brief  memoir  of  the  life,  labours, 
and  death  of  John  Stewart,  (man  of  colour,)  founder,  under  God

This  extraordinary  man,  whose  labors  are  rivaled  only  by  those  of  the  early 
Jesuit  missionaries,  was  a  negro  born  in  Virginia,  about  1790,  who,  in  1816, 
conceived  that  he  was  directed  by  divine  authority  to  preach  the  Gospel  to 
the  northwest  Pagan  Indians.  He  arrived  among  the  Wyandote,  then  lo- 
cated in  the  vicinity  of  the  present  site  of  Sandusky,  during  the  performance 
of  one  of  their  wild,  heathenish  festivals.  Fierce  as  they  were,  the  melody  of 
one  of  his  religious  hymns,  sung  in  the  rich,  expressive  voice,  for  which  he 
was  remarkable,  struck  the  savage  fancy  and  gave  him  at  once  a  ])owerful 
hold  upon  tlieir  interest.  For  five  years  this  unlettered  African  not  only 
retained  the  power  he  hjid  acquired,  but  step  by  step  increiwed  his  influence.

until  a  ^^at  portion  of  the  tribe  was  redeemed  from  dninkenncss  and 

Eaganism.  The  fiercest  vindictiveness  of  the  revengeful  Pagans,  melted 
efore  the  mild  zeal  and  pure  life  of  the  fervent  missionary.  It  was  not 
until  1820,  that  the  attention  of  the  Methodist  Church  authorities  was  at- 
tracted to  the  wonderful  labors  of  this  black  apostle,  and  they  then  deter- 
mined to  assume  jurisdiction  over  the  Christian  Church,  organized  by  the 
descendant  of  African  savages,  among  American  aborigines.  There  are  few 
in  any  generation  of  men,  who  may  not  envy  the  labors  of  this  negro  mis- 
sionary and  his  reward.  Some  details  of  his  labors  will  be  found  in  Finley's 
autobiography.

This  is  the  fourth  edition  of  the  Book  of  Common  Prayer,  first  translated 
into  Mohawk  by  the  missionary  Freeman,  and  by  Lawrence  Claesse.  The 
Society  for  the  Propagation  of  the  Gospel  in  Foreign  Parts  sent  the  first 
missionary  to  the  Mohawks  in  1702,  but  it  was  not  until  1709,  on  the  occa- 
sion of  the  visit  of  some  of  that  nation  to  London,  accompanied  by  Colonel 
Schuyler,  that  the  Society  was  stirred  to  provide  them  with  the  offices  of  the 
church,  printed  in  their  own  language.  The  Book  of  Common  Prayer  had 
been  in  part  translated  by  Mr.  Freeman,  was  enlarged  by  the  interpreter, 
Lawrence  Claesse,  and  printed  by  William  Bradford,  in  New  York,  in  1715. 
It  was  in  medium  quarto,  containing  141  pages.  One  or  two  copies  of  this 
very  rare  edition  have  been  seen  without  date  or  imprint ;  three  that  I  have 
examined  have  both.  As  copies  of  this  edition  had  become  scarce  in  1762, 
Sir  William  Johnson  caused  another  to  be  prepared  which  was  printed  in 
New  York,  in  1769.  Very  considerable  additions  were  made  to  it,  and  as 
the  quarto  form  had  been  found  inconvenient,  it  was,  by  Sir  William's  direc- 
tion, changed  to  small  octavo,  of  208  pages.  In  the  terrible  devastations 
which  the  Mohawk  valley  suffered  during  the  War  of  the  Revolution,  together 
with  the  expatriation  of  the  nation  in  1777,  most  of  the  copies  in  their  pos- 
session were  lost.  Governor  Haldiman  of  Canada,  moved  by  their  petitions, 
caused  an  edition  of  one  thousand  copies  to  be  printed  in  1780,  at  Quebec. 
This  was  also  in  octavo  and  contained  213  pages.  In  a  few  years  this  edi- 
tion had  also  become  exhausted,  and  the  Society,  which  seventy  years  before 
had  caused  the  first  translation  to  be  printed,  again  directed  the  work  of 
furnishing  to  the  Indians  a  more  enlarged  and  correct  version.  Colonel 
Daniel  Claus,  who  had  under  the  direction  of  Governor  Haldiman  super- 
vised the  printing  of  the  Quebec  edition,  was  engaged  by  the  Society  to 
revise  the  impression  as  it  issued  from  the  press.  The  edition  of  1787  is 
declared  in  the  Preface  to  be  much  more  correct  than  any  previous  one,  —  a 
merit  which  it  probably  owes  to  the  accurate  knowledge  of  the  Mohawk  lan- 
guage, possessed  by  Colonel  Claus.  All  the  other  editions  were  solely  in 
the  Indian  tongue,  but  in  this  the  English  version  on  the  verso  of  each 
leaf,  is  rendered  as  closely  as  possible  into  MohaAvk  on  the  recto  of  the  next. 
The  chi'onological  history  of  the  translation,  may  be  summed  up  as  follows  : 
The  Morning  and  Evening  Prayers,  the  Gospel  of  St.  Matthew  and  other 
portions  of  Scripture,  were  translated  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Freeman,  a  missionary 
among  the  Mohawks  about  1706,  but  remained  in  MS.  This  translation 
was  given  to  Mr.  Andrews,  and  used  as  the  basis  of  Lawrence  Claesse's 
translation  of  the  Catechism,  the  Litany,  etc.,  printed  in  1715.  Colonel 
"William  Johnson  employed  William  Weyman  of  New  York,  to  print  four 
hundred  copies  in  1763  ;  but  the  death  of  Dr.  Barclay,  the  Mohawk  mis- 
sionary who  was  to  superintend  it,  caused  a  suspension  of  two  years.  His 
successor  in  the  mission,  the  Rev.  Mr.  Ogilvie,  then  undertook  the  labor,  but 
in  1768  the  death  of  the  printer,  Mr.  Weyman,  again  stopped  its  progress. 
Hugh  Gaines,  then  having  been  induced  to  complete  the  printing,  it  was 
issued  in  1769,  having  been  six  years  in  the  press.  The  two  succeeding 
editions  followed  as  already  described.  See  Humphrey's  History  of  the  Society 
for  Propagating  the  Gospel,  and  Vol.  I.  Historical  Magazine.

Vol.  II.  is  entirely  devoted  to  the  history  of  the  Araucanian  Indians,  their 
peculiar  customs,  and  their  wars  with  the  Spaniards,  with  a  grammar  of  the 
language,  and  a  vocabulary.  The  wars  ot  the  Spaniards  with  the  uncon- 
quered  Araucanians,  have  afforded  the  most  fertile  material  of  all  the  chap- 
ters of  South  American  history,  for  story  and  romance.  Ercilla,  the  Spanish 
poet,  whose  epic  has  been  compared  to  the  Iliad  and  the  jEneid,  formed  his 
Araucania  on  their  story.  The  Abbe  Molina  has  told  in  his  volumes,  in 
almost  equally  glowing  prose,  the  narrative  of  the  heroic  struggle  of  these 
savages  tor  freedom.  He  obtained  from  the  Abbe  Olivarez,  MS.  history  writ- 
ten prior  to  1665,  and  from  the  oral  narration  of  actors  in  the  wars,  as  well 
as  from  printed  documents,  the  materials  for  his  history.  On  pp.  285  to  304, 
Vol.  II.  he  gives  a  grammatical  essay,  and  vocabulary  of  the  Araucanian  lan- 
guage. The  remainder  of  this  volume  is  taken  up  with  copious  extracts 
trom  Ercilla's  poem,  as  copiously  annotated.

cated  engravings  of  this  huge  volume,  were  first  used  for  Montanus'  work, 
but  were  in  the  same  year  reproduced  in  Ogilby's  America,  and  in  1673,  in 
Dapper's  German  translation  of  Montanus.  The  impressions  are  far  the 
most  brilliant  and  clear,  in  this  original  Dutch  edition.  If  the  value  of  Mon- 
tanus' relations  of  aboriginal  life  and  customs,  is  to  be  estimated  from  his 
pictures  of  fabulous  monsters,  there  is  little  to  be  learned  from  his  tremendous

Protean  character,  John  Frost,  LL.  D.  The  clipped  and  scissored  narratives, 
and  the  mixture  of  harsh,  dark,  unsightly  woodcuts,  with  tawdry  colored 
lithographs,  would  induce  the  editor,  we  could  readily  believe,  to  hide  his 
name  under  any  convenient  synonym.

Beside  the  large  map,  there  is  a  folding  sheet  of  comparative  vocabularies,  a 
large  fuldiiig  plate,  and  twenty  full-paged  engravings.  It  is  evident  on 
examination,  that  this  is  the  work  of  a  writer  more  than  ordinarily  fitted  for 
the  task.  It  is  indeed  rare  that  taste  and  learning  so  well  combine  with 
the  experience  of  a  lifetime  to  favor  the  researches  of  a  historian  in  examin- 
ing the  scanty  records  of  the  American  Indians.  In  early  youth  Mr.  Mor- 
gan was  so  familiarly  associated  with  the  Senecas,  that  he  was  adopted  as  a 
member  of  the  tribe.  Under  such  favorable  circumstances,  he  was  permitted 
to  closely  study  their  social  organization,  and  the  structure  and  principles  of 
their  ancient  league.     Year  alter  year  his  materials  grew,  until  his  copious

notes  became  volumes,  and  thus  the  production  of  the  first  systematic  trea- 
tise, regarding  the  internal  structure  of  Indian  society  and  government  was 
made  easy  of  accomplishment.  The  laws  of  descent  amon^  the  Iroquois, 
first  claimed  the  author's  attention,  and  his  treatise  fully  exhibits  that  mar- 
velous and  sagacious  legislative  restriction,  by  which  tribal  and  national 
rank  was  always  derived  from  the  mother.  Not  the  least  valuable  feature 
of  his  work,  crowded  as  it  is  with  original  investigations  and  logical  deduc- 
tions, is  the  map  of  the  territory  belonging  to,  or  once  occupied  by  the  Six 
Nations,  in  which  all  the  localities  of  their  numerous  villages  are  shown, 
,  with  the  aboriginal  names  of  the  streams,  lakes,  valleys,  and  other  geograph- 
ical features.  The  Appendi.x,  pp.  465  to  477,  is  entitled  "  Schedule  ex- 
planatory of  the  Indian  Map."  It  is  a  table  giving  the  English  names  of 
the  localities,  streams,  etc.,  on  the  map,  and  opposite  thereto  the  Indian 
name,  while  a  third  column  exhibits  its  signification.  Nearly  four  hundred 
geographical  names  are  thus  rendered  and  translated.

A  sheet  of  eight  closely  printed  pages,  designed  to  be  sent  to  persons  having 
some  knowledge  of  Indian  history,  and  domestic  or  social  customs,  in  order 
to  elicit  information  regarding  them.  It  contains  an  analysis  of  tiieir  tribal 
divisions,  marital  relations,  and  a  series  of  questions  regarding  the  same.  8** 
pp.  8.     Rochester,  Monroe  Co.,  New  York,  October  1,  1809. 

Everything  which  passes  the  han^s  of  this  indefatigable  student  of  aboriginal 
history,  bears  the  marks  of  so  much  thoughtful  analysis,  that  even  these 
fugitive  leaves  have  a  distinct  and  peculiar  value.  In  most  treatises  upon 
the  mysterious  subject  of  the  origin,  progress,  and  other  ethnological  data  of 
the  Indians,  hypothesis  has  run  mad,  and  the  wildest  speculations  have  not 
been  without  their  advocates.  These,  the  grim  silence  of  their  history,  forbids 
ever  to  be  proven  true  or  false.  Mr.  Morgan,  however,  deals  only  with  facts, 
of  which  his  residence  among  the  Iroquois  aifords  him  an  abundant  store. 
He  leaves  his  reader  himself  to  deduce  the  almost  inevitable  conclusion, 
which  his  data  suggest

This  elegant  treatise  on  the  habits  and  life  of  the  animal,  which  has  been  so 
greatly  the  innocent  cause  of  the  ruin  of  his  fellow  aborigines,  by  provoking 
the  greed  of  the  white,  and  the  fatal  thirst  of  the  red  man,  incidentally  treats

8°    pp.  11%.     London:  nn.  1095 

Under  this  unpromising  title,  the  author  has  printed  a  journal  of  an  expedi- 
tion against  Pontiac,  in  which  he  was  mnde  a  captive  by  the  Indians.  On 
pp.  1  to  39,  he  gives  his  narrative  of  the  incidents  of  his  hazardous  mission  to 
Pontiac,  a  savage  general,  who  in  a  six  weeks'  campaign,  overthrew  the 
British  authority  in  all  the  territories  of  the  northwest.  Captain  Morris 
accepted  the  service  at  the  request  of  General  Bradstreet,  sensible  that  to 
place  himself  in  the  power  of  the  vindictive  Indian  chief,  was  little  short  of  a 
sentence  to  death.  General  Bradstreet,  who  had  the  ill  luck  to  bear  a  reputa- 
tion too  great  for  his  capacity,  had  the  additional  misfortune  of  seldom 
knowing  what  he  really  wanted.  Captain  Morris,  bv  the  combined  force  of 
good  fortune,  and  good  conduct,  escaped  the  perils  wliich  inclosed  his  course

With  the  fire  kindled  around  the  stake  to  which  ke  was  tied,  he  was  more 
than  once  rescued  at  the  last  minute.  The  original  MS.  of  his  journal  is 
preserved  in  tlie  London  Colonial  Archives.  Other  particulars  of  his  mis- 
sion, captivity,  and  escape,  can  he  found  in  Captain  Morris'  letter  to  Brad-

This  is  certainly  the  most  complete  and  exhaustive  report  of  the  condition, 
numbers,  names,  territor}-,  and  general  affiiirs  of  the  Indians,  ever  made.  It

existed  in  the  year  1820.  They  are  the  result  of  the  indefiitigable  labors,  of  a 
humane  and  learned  man,  who  personally  visited,  and  investigated  the  afRiirs 
of  many  of  the  tribes  enumerated.  The  most  elaborate  tables  accompany

exhausted  with  the  intensity  of  his  application,  he  had  only  vitality  enough 
to  aid  in  the  issue  of  one  volume,  when  his  death  forever  interrupted  the 
completion  of  his  labors.  The  literary  treasures  of  the  Indies,  which  Spanish 
jealousy  had  hitherto  secluded  from  all  investigation,  were  by  royal  mandate 
placed  at  his  disposal.  Vast  numbers  of  original  MSS.  of  the  highest  his- 
torical importance,  were  under  his  direction,  copied  and  arranged  for  use. 
These  authenticated  much  that  was  only  conjectured,  and  disproved  much 
that  was  thought  to  be  known.  A  large  portion  of  the  volume  we  have,  is 
devoted  to  narrations  of  the  character  of  the  Indians,  and  their  treatment  by 
Columbus,  which  Munoz  declares  to  have  been  eminently  humane,  although 
he  early  countenanced,  and  even  directed,  their  reduction  to  slavery.  One 
incident  he  mentions,  reveals  the  high  elevation  of  religious  sentiment,  among 
the  graver  and  more  intelligent,  of  the  once  happy  and  innocent  aborigines 
of  San  Domingo.  An  aged  and  venerable  Indian,  on  witnessing  one  of  the 
first  acts  of  devotion  by  the  Spaniards,  expressed  the  highest  gratification  at 
their  evident  belief  in  a  Supreme  Being,  declaring  his  pleasiu'e  with  tears  of 
joy,  that  these  white  strangers  and  his  own  naked  countrymen,  worsliipped 
the  same  King  of  Heaven,  who  would,  after  this  short  life,  reward  the  good 
of  all  tribes  with  happiness,  and  punish  the  wicked  with  misery.  Of  leal 
importance,  yet  not  without  significance,  is  the  statement  on  Oviedo's  au- 
thority, that  Europeans  first  imitated  the  natives  in  smoking  tobacco,  to  alle- 
viate the  pangs  of  syphilis. 

MURATORI  (Mr.). 

A  Relation  of  the  Missions  of  Paraguay.  Wrote  Originally  in 
Italian,  by  Mr.  Muratori,  And  now  done  into  English  from  the 
French  Translation.  12°  pp.  xvi.-\- 296.  London :  printed  for 
J.  Marmaduke,  in  Long-Acre.  1759.  1107 

Muratori's  relation  of  the  Jesuit  missions  in  Paraguay  is  very  highly  es- 
teemed, having  been  composed  in  great  part  from  documents  written  by 
various  Jesuit  missionaries  and  travellers,  furnished  to  Muratori  by  Father 
Gaetan  Cattanio,  a  missionary  of  the  brotherhood  of  Jesus,  in  Paraguay. 
The  latter  v/as  born  in  Modcna,  in  1696,  and  died  in  Paraguay,  in  1733.  His 
letters,  published  as  an  appendix  to  this  work,  are  exceedingly  interesting  in 
aifording  descriptions  of  the  Indians  of  Paraguay  at  this  early  day.  The 
historian  is  said  also  to  have  derived  no  small  portion  of  his  work  from  the 
communications  of  Santo  Bueno,  Viceroy  of  Peru.

This  is  the  first  and  best  edition  of  a  most  interesting  work,  by  an  intelligent 
observer  of  the  peculiarities  of  the  Pawnees,  before  they  had  been  modified 
by  contact  with  the  whites.  His  departure  from  St.  Louis,  and  first  encounter 
with  the  Pawnees,  is  narrated  in  Chap.  xii.  of  Vol.  I.,  and  through  the  re- 
mainder of  the  volume,  pp.  2-35  to  460,  and  pp.  1  to  96  of  Vol.  II.,  we  follow 
him  with  unabated  interest  in  his  narration  of  his  adventures  during  a  three 
months'  tour  in  the  Indian  territory.  There  is  little  of  scientific  value  in  his 
narrative,  hut  it  possesses  a  more  than  common  charm  in  the  vividness  of 
his  relation.

A  large  portion  of  the  work,  pp.  325  to  450,  is  devoted  to  a  grammatical  anal-

This  is  another  story  of  the  method  in  which  the  cowards  of  the  frontiers 
revenged  upon  innocent  and  helpless  old  men,  and  young  children,  the  out- 
rages of  Indian  warriors  whom  they  dared  not  meet.  The  pamphlet  narrates 
the  destruction  of  the  feeble  remnant  of  the  Conestoge  tribe,  by  those  whose 
bodies  must  have  been  inhabited  by  fiends  from  hell,  instead  of  human  souls. 
The  inhuman  slaughter  of  Christian  men  and  women  with  their  babes,  by 
the  mob  of  Scotch  and  Irish  frontier  settlers,  is  the  most  horrible  picture  of 
human  phrensy  this  continent  ever  saw.  Among  all  the  atrocities  which 
have  been  attributed  to  the  Spaniards,  as  having  been  perpetrated  upon  the 
Indians,  no  historian  has  ever  charged  them  with  the  merciless  slaughter  of 
Christian  and  friendly  tribes,  to  revenge  the  outrages  of  pagan  and  hostile 
savages.  The  pamphlet  is  said  to  have  been  written  by  Benjamin  Franklin, 
and  is  among  the  rarest  of  works  relating  to  the  history  of  Pennsylvania.

This  narrative  is  the  second  of  that  long  catalogue  of  statements,  histories, 
and  narratives  to  which  the  murder  of  Governor  Semple  by  the  half-breed 
Indians,  in  the  service  of  the  Northwest  Fur  Company,  gave  existence.  The 
first  publication  was  the  "  Sketch  of  the  Fur  Trade  in  North  America,"  by 
the  benevolent  and  enterprising  Lord  Selkirk.  This  narrative  is  the  rejoin- 
der of  the  Northwest  Fur  Company,  covering  pp.  1  to  152.  The  Appendix 
which  follows,  paged  separately  1  to  87,  is  composed  of  affidavits  of  the 
traders,  of  Indian  speeches,  etc.  The  next  work  in  order  of  this  embroglio

The  narrator  gives  in  this  work  the  results  of  his  observations  regarding  the

the  Spaniards.  Almost  the  whole  of  the  volume  subsequent  to,  and  includ-

barbarous  character  of  the  war  of  the  Americans  with  them  ;  and  anecdotes 
respecting  the  Seminoles.  The  Appendix  is  entitled  "  Seminole  War  :  exe-

another  friendly  government,  engaged  in  a  lawful  commerce,  their  trial  and

from  the  narrations  of  Smith,  Strachey,  Argall,  Chamberlain,  Hamor, 
Whitaker,  Purchas,  and  others,  to  prove  that  Rolfe  did  not  and  could  not 
marry  Pocahontas,  as  he  had  brought  a  white  wife  from  England.  The 
evidence  is  at  best  only  negative,  plausible  merely  by  omission,  and  very 
inconclusive.

There  is  only  the  obvious  reason  for  admitting  this  book  into  this  Catalogue, 
that  it  is  so  fully  illustrative  of  the  habits  of  the  animals,  which  form  a 
great  portion  of  the  Indian's  subsistence,  and  the  subtle  craft  by  which  he  i8 
obliged  to  circumvent  their  sagacity  and  cunning  instinct.  It  is  the  work, 
not  of  one  man  only,  but  of  many  acute  and  observing  woodsmen,  who 
have  spent  their  lives  watching  the  habits  of  the  denizens  of  the  forest,  and 
in  discovering  the  devices  by  which  the  sly,  timid,  and  crafty  beasts  preserved 
their  hunted  lives.  It  is  m  fact  a  revelation  of  the  secrets  of  all  the  wild 
animals  which  haunt  the  streams  or  woods,  obtained  from  the  reticent  In-

p;?.  40.     Mw  York:  1837.  1137 

In  this  treatise,  Mr.  Noah,  an  eminent  Jew,  for  many  years  the  editor  of  the 
Sunday  Adas,  by  far  the  highest  in  literary  rank  of  that  class  of  journals, 
endeavors  to  establish  the  identity  of  the  ten  lost  tribes  of  Israel,  with  the 
American  Indians.  It  is  by  no  means  exhaustive,  the  editor  having  appar- 
ently consulted  only  the  more  easily  accessible  and  not  very  erudite  authori- 
ties.

contains  "  A  Brief  Maya  Vocabulary,"  of  nine  pages  in  double  columns,  be- 
sides traditional  and  historical  sketches.  It  is  said  that  Mr.  Norman  was 
hun-iedly  sent  to  Yucatan,  to  anticipate  the  researches  of  Mr.  Stevens,  who 
expended  so  much  time  and  labor  in  careful  examinations  of  the  vast  works

Norton  (Rev.  John). 

Narrative  of  the  Capture,  and  Burning  of  Fort  Massachusetts

and  the  captivity  of  all  those  stationed  there,  to  the  nun)ber  of 
thirty  persons.  Written  at  the  time  by  one  of  the  captives,  the 
Rev.  Mr.  John  Norton,  chaplain  of  the  fort.  Now  first  pub-

In  this  volume,  Mr.  Drake  has  not  only  reprinted  the  very  rare  narrative  of 
the  captivity  of  Mr.  Norton,  but  he  has  added  a  biography,  and  many  notes, 
explanatory  of  the  very  minute  relations  of  the  captive.  The  original  nar- 
rative was  printed  in  Boston,  1748,  and  in  common  with  all  the  publications 
of  its  class  and  period,  has  become  exceedingly  rare.

of  Sullivan's  celebrated  campaign,  of  which  abundant  materials  exist  to  form 
an  interesting  and  valuable  history.  The  massacre  of  Lieutenant  Boyd  and 
his  party,  has  attracted  the  interest  and  sympathy  of  a  vast  number  of  read- 
ers, but  there  are  few  that  have  heard  the  story  which  makes  his  fate  seem 
almost  a  just  retribution.  "  When  the  company  of  which  he  was  an  officer, 
was  forming  for  the  march  to  the  rendezvous,  a  young  girl  endeavored  to 
draw  him  aside,  to  whose  entreaties  he  offered  only  a  contemptuous  refusal. 
Rendered  desperate  b^  her  wrongs,  she  declared  that  she  was  about  to  become 
a  mother,  through  his  promises  of  marriage,  and  then  in  the  most  solemn 
manner  abjured  him  to  fuUfil  them.  As  he  turned  a  deaf  ear  to  her  en- 
treaties, she  terminated  the  scene,  by  beseeching  his  Maker  to  prevent  his 
returning  alive,  if  he  abandoned  her."    Simms'  History  of  Schoharie  County.

intercou»se  of  an  intelligent  observer  of  the  character  and  peculiarities  of 
that  interesting  people,  it  possesses  more  than  common  interest.  "  A  vocab-

The  naturalist  records  in  almost  every  chapter  some  incidents  of  his  personal 
intercourse  with  the  Chickasaw,  Cherokee,  and  Osage  Indians,  then  inhabit- 
ing the  territory  he  explored.  It  is  in  the  Appendix,  however,  that  ho  has 
grouped,  more  particularly,  his  observations  regarding  the  Indians.  Section 
I.  pp.  247  to  267,  is  entitled,  "  An  Account  of  the  Ancient  Aboriginal  popu- 
lation of  the  banks  of  the  Mississippi."  Section  II.  is  headed,  "  The  History 
of  the  Natchez,"  and  occupies  pp.  268  to  282 ;  and  Section  III.  pp.  283  to 
294,  has  the  subject  title,  "  Observations  on  the  Chickasaws  and  Cherokees." 
The  author  was  so  capable,  by  his  long  scientific  culture,  of  affording  us  the 
most  valuable  contributions  to  ethnology  and  philology,  that  it  is  much  to 
be  regretted  that  the  manuscripts  of  which  he  speaks  in  the  Preface  have 
never  been  published.  "Not  wishing  to  enlarge  the  present  publication,  I 
reserve  for  a  subsequent  volume  which  will  shortly  be  issued,  '  A  general 
View  and  Description  of  the  Aboriginal  Antiquities  of  the  Western  States,' 
and  some  '  Essays  on  the  Languages  of  the  Western  Indians.'  The  surveys 
and  collections  towards  a  history  of  the  aboriginal  antiquities,  have  remained 
unpublished  in  my  possession  for  several  years."  Cannot  some  ]jersevering 
and  fortunate  antiquarian  unearth  these  treasures;  the  means  of  putting 
them  before  the  world  would  not  long  be  wanting.

Jesuit  Relations  of  Discoveries  and  other  occurrences  in  Canada

In  this  biof^raphicfil  and  bibliographical  essay,  Dr.  O'Callaghan  gives  brief 
sketches  of  the  writers  of  the  rehitions  or  reports,  to  their  superior,  of  the 
Jesuit  missionaries  among  the  Indians  of  New  York  and  Canada.  It  also 
contains  a  synopsis  of  the  contents  of  each  Relation  known  to  him,  and  on  the 
last  leaf,  a  Table  showing  the  date  and  present  owner  of  the  copies,  which  he 
ascertained  to  be  in  existence.  Dr.  O'Callaghan  enumerates  only  forty  ;  of 
which  Mr.  J.  C.  Brown  had  thirty-six,  Harvard  College  thirty-five,  H.  C. 
Murphy  twenty-nine.  Each  of  these  libraries  have  increased  their  number, 
and  of  the  forty-eight  now  known  to  exist,  Mr.  Murphy  has  secured  all  but 
three.  Of  all  the  objects  of  bibliographical  acquisitions,  there  is  Jione  so 
difficult  of  completion  as  this.  A  perfect  set  of  the  Jesuit  relations  of  the  ■ 
missions  to  Canada,  is  not  known  to  exist,  although  it  is  believed  one  could 
be  formed  from  the  three  collections  named.

As  late  as  1655,  the  Indians  of  New  York  were  revenging  the  murderous 
slaughter  of  four  hundred  of  their  countrymen  at  Pavonia,  by  that  sanguin- 
ary coward.  Governor  Kieft.  The  petition  shovvs  that  three  hundred  of  the 
Dutch  colony  had  been  slain,  and  one  hundred  carried  away  captives.  So 
audacious  had  the  fierce  Indians  become,  that  several  of  the  Dutch  had 
been  killed  on  the  island  of  Manhattan  ;  and  on  one  occasion  sixty  four 
canoes  loaded  with  the  savages  had  landed  on  the  shore  of  the  North  River, 
and  before  daylight,  had  filled  the  streets  of  New  Amsterdam.  The  first 
objects  upon  which  the  eyes  of  the  astonished  Dutchmen  rested  in  the  morn- 
ing, were  the  crowds  of  savages  to  whose  forbearance  alone  they  owed  their 
lives.     Only  fifty  copies  of  the  work  are  said  to  have  been  printed.

Sampson  Occom  was  a  Mohegan  Indian,  bom  1723.  He  was  the  first  Indian 
pupil,  of  the  celebrated  Eleazer  Wheelock,  at  his  school  in  Lebanon,  in  1742, 
where  he  remained  four  years,  graduating  at  the  age  of  twenty-three.  He 
established  a  school  among  the  Montauk  Indians  on  Long  Island,  in  1755, 
which  he  continued  for  ten  years.  Being  ordained  as  a  clergyman  of  the 
Presbyterian  church,  he  engaged  as  a  missionary  to  the  Oneida  Indians  for  a 
year  when  he  sailed  for  England,  where  he  preached,  in  the  course  of  a  year 
and  a  half,  nearly  four  hundred  sermons.  Wherever  he  spoke,  the  houses 
were  thronged.  The  contributions  for  his  schools  reached  five  thousand 
dollars.  On  his  return  to  America  he  again  engaged  as  a  missionary  to  the 
Indian  tribes  of  Connecticut  and  New  York,  in  which  service  he  continued 
until  his  death  in  1792.  He  was  undoubtedly  a  zealous,  pious  minister,  and 
his  preaching  is  described  by  those  whose  judgment  is  conclusive,  to  have 
been  more  than  ordinarily  rational  and  eloquent.  His  sermon  has  been 
many  times  reprinted.

This  minute  and  carefully  written  journal  affords  us  many  new  particulars  of 
the  life,  manners,  and  customs  of  the  savages  of  the  Rocky  Mountains,  both 
in  their  wild  and  semi-civilized  state.  The  description  of  the  success  of  the 
mission  of  the  unfortunate  Dr.  Whitman,  who  with  his  family  were  soon 
afterwards  massacred,  is  particularly  interesting,  as  exhibiting  the  appar- 
ently irreclaimable  ferocity  of  some  savage  tribes,  even  by  the  influences  of 
Christianity.

The  extraordinary  Indian  chief  whose  visit  is  narrated  in  this  account,  de- 
served a  memoir  of  greater  extent,  and  a  wider  celebrity  than  has  been  con- 
ferred upon  him.  In  his  native  forests,  before  communication  from  Christian 
advisers  had  reached  him,  he  conceived  the  design  of  personal  moral  reform. 
To  forward  his  purpose  he  visited  the  Quakers  of  Philadelphia,  and  as 
vouchers  for  his  sincerity,  he  brought  three  white  prisoners,  and  several 
stolen  horses  he  had  purchased  from  hostile  tribes,  after  long  journeys  un- 
dertaken in  search  of  them.  His  speeches  to  the  Friends  are  models  of  good 
sense  and  religious  conviction  ;  but  the  most  remarkable  of  all  the  numerous 
addresses  by  American  Indians,  was  made  by  him  to  the  Governor,  who 
offered  him  a  considerable,  and  to  the  chief  very  valuable  amount  of  goods, 
as  a  present.  The  dignified  and  noble  reply,  in  which  he  declined  to  receive 
them,  on  the  ground  that  his  visit  was  entirely  for  religious  instruction,  and 
therefore  of  too  sacred  a  character  to  admit  of  the  gross  indulgence  of  per- 
sonal desires,  is  worthy  of  a  place  on  the  same  page  with  the  most  renowned  "> 
sayings  of  the  heroes  of  antiquity.     The  book  is  of  considerably  rarity.

and  sketches  of  western  adventure  and  frontier  life,  with  a  considerable  pro- 
portion of  that  material  described  by  the  author  as  "  Not  heretofore  pub-

derived  from  the  actors  in  the  scenes  he  describes,  or  their  immediate  de-

title,  of  "Performed  in  the  years  1835,  36,  and  37."  "A  leading  object  of 
this  Exploration,"  the  author  announces  in  his  preface,  "  was  to  become  ac- 
quainted with  the  situation  of  the  remote  Indian  Tribes,  and  their  disposition 
in  regard  to  teachers  of  Christianity."  This  part  of  the  duties  was  exceed- 
ingly well  performed  by  an  intelligent  and  discriminating  man.  The  author's 
personal  experience  among  the  nomads  of  the  plains,  the  root-diggers  of  the

detail  to  attract  our  interest,  and  with  such  evident  adherence  to  fidelity  of 
narration  as  to  acquire  our  confidence  and  belief.  In  all  the  qualities  which 
a  historian  would  require,  it  has  few  equals.  The  author  indeed  anticipates 
the  requirements  of  his  day,  and  furnishes  the  philologist  with  a  vocabulary

The  accomplished  author  of  Conspiracy  of  Pontiac;  Jesuits  in  America;  and 
Pioneers  oj  New  France,  caught  in  the  experiences  recorded  in  this  volume, 
the  incentive  which  led  his  researches  in  the  direction  of  aboriginal  life.  Mr. 
Parkman  had  all  the  genuine  love  of  adventure  of  a  frontiersman,  the  taste 
for  the  picturesque  and  romantic  of  an  artist,  and  the  skill  in  narration  of  an 
accomplished  raconteur.  It  is  not  too  high  praise  of  his  work  to  say,  that  his 
pictures  of  savage  life  are  not  excelled  by  the  narratives  which  had  their  birth

respect.  While  he  brought  all  the  zeal  of  an  antiquary,  and  the  refinements

existence;.  His  liook  is  crowded  with  descriptions  of  Indian  life,  of  which  we

The  charm  which  Mr.  Parkman's  books  assert  on  the  attention  of  every  reader, 
is  not  wholly  derived  from  the  delicious  style  of  his  writing.  His  perfect 
knowledge  of  Indian  life  and  manners,  acquired  by  personal  experience,  and 
his  exhaustion  of  the  literature  of  his  subject,  as  it  is  found  in  printed  works, 
unedited  manuscripts,  and  authenticated  tradition,  give  new  interest  to  a  sub- 
ject so  often  illustrated  as  the  life  of  the  Ottawa  chieK  Subsequent  researches, 
elicited  doubtless  by  Mr.  Parkman's  work,  have  brought  new  material  to 
light,  but  it  adds  little  to  the  historical  value  of  his  history.

uals singly  and  in  groups.  The  work  is  in  truth  a  splendid  treatise  on 
aboriginal  life,  rather  than  a  narrative  of  scientific  discoveries. 

Paton  (Alexander). 

Narrative  of  the  loss  of  the  schooner  Clio,  of  Montrose,  Captain 
George  Reid ;  containing  an  account  of  the  massacre  of  her 
crew  by  the  Indians,  on  the  north  coast  of  Brazil,  in  October, 
1835 ;  with  other  interesting  particulars,  relative  to  the  subse- 
quent Adventures,  and  miraculous  escape  of  the  author  from 
the  hands  of  a  savage  people.  By  Alexander  Paton,  a  native 
of  Ferryden,  the  only  Survivor.  Second  edition,  enlarged  and 
improved.  12°  pp.  60.  Montrose:  published  hy  Smith  8f  Co., 
1838.  1185 

Alexander  Paton  has  the  testimony  of  the  minister  of  the  kirk  of  his  native 
village,  in  Scotland,  to  the  veracity  of  his  statements.  At  the  period  of  his 
return  from  captivity,  he  was  twenty  years  of  age.  The  leading  facts  of  the 
barbarous  massacre  of  his  captain  and  shipmates  had  reached  his  native 
land,  some  time  before  his  escape.  The  narrative  of  his  captivity,  the  murder 
of  his  comrades  by  the  Indians,  and  of  his  escape,  is  told  with  the  simple  style 
of  truth,  and  aflfbrds  us  a  new  view  of  the  character  of  the  natives  of  the 
coast  of  Brazil. 

Pattie  (James  O.). 
The  Personal  Narrative  of  James  O.  Pattie,  of  Kentucky,  during 
an  expedition  from  St.  Louis,  through  the  vast  regions  between 
that  place  and  the  Pacific  Ocean,  and  thence  back  through  the 
city  of  Mexico  to  Vera  Cruz,  during  journeyings  of  six  years ; 
^  in  which  he  and  his  father,  who  accompanied  him,  suffered 
unheard  of  hardships  and  dangers,  had  various  conflicts  with 
the  Indians,  and  were  made  captives,  in  which  captivity  his 
father  died :  Together  with  a  description  of  the  country,  and 
the  various  nations  through  which  they  passed.  Edited  by 
Timothy  Flint.  8°  pp.  300.  Cincinnati :  published  by  E.  H. 
Flint.    1833.  118G 

The  narrative  of  Pattie's  expedition  and  captivity  has  more  than  the  ordinary 
interest  and  value,  which  attaches  to  the  stories  of  adventurers.    He  crossed

the  continent  of  America  on  a  route  which  his  party  were  the  first  to  pursue. 
He  encountered  tribes  of  Indians  who  then  saw  a  white  man  for  the  first 
time,  and  his  narrative  has  the  merit  of  being  given  in  a  candid,  unexag- 
gerated  style,  which  impresses  us  with  its  veracity.  The  story  of  the  perilous 
expedition,  the  frightful  extremities  to  which  his  party  were  reduced,  the 
fights  with  the  savages,  and  his  final  capture,  are  all  nan-ated  with  spirit  and 
candor.

The  sanguinary  wretches  of  Pennsylvania,  who  have  been  pilloried  before  the 
world  under  the  title  of  "  Paxton-Men,"  thought  it  necessary  to  print  their 
defense  against  the  charges  of  monstrous  cruelty  and  cowardice,  made  by 
Franklin  in  his  Massacres  of  Indians  at  Lancaster.  These  fastidious  mur- 
derers slaughtered  a  number  of  inoffensive  Christian  Indians,  out  of  revenge 
for  the  outrages  committed  by  their  savage  brethren,  whom  these  cowardly 
frontiersmen  feared  to  encounter.  This  tract  is  their  attempted  exculpation, 
but  it  has  hitherto  only  monumented  their  own  infamy.

The  author  was  familiar  with  the  scenes,  as  well  as  many  of  the  actors  in  the 
Wyoming  tragedy,  for  a  period  of  forty  years  commencing  with  1820.  He 
was  thus  enabled  to  glean  many  particulars  regarding  the  Indians,  the  pio- 
neers and  their  bloody  skirmishes,  which  had  escaped  the  eager  inquiries  of 
Chapman,  Miner,  and  Stone.  Beside  the  numerous  anecdotes  and  incidents 
obtained  from  the  lips  of  the  survivors  of  the  massacre,  he  had  the  good  for-

portions,  but  his  relations  of  the  peculiarities  he  observed  in  the  natives  of

their  manners  at  that  early  day.  He  occupies  chajrtcrs  vii.  to  xi.  pp.  3.54

was  born  in  Cornwall,  England,  July,  1665,  and  arrived  in  Portsmouth,  New 
Hampshire,  July  1686.  He  held  many  important  offices  of  public  trust  with 
great  honor,  being  chief  justice  of  the  Province,  at  the  period  of  his  death,  in 
December,  1726,  at  the  age  of  sixty-one.  His  work  on  the  Indian  wars  is 
esteemed  as  the  highest  authority  on  that  subject.  His  design  in  emigrating 
was  to  serve  the  corporation  for  the  propagation  of  the  gospel  among  the 
Indians,  as  a  missionary,  after  he  had  made  himself  acquainted  with  their 
language.  Whether  he  ever  really  performed  that  service  is  uncertain.  His 
MS.  diary  kept  with  great  care,  and  covering  a  great  portion  of  his  life,  was 
destroyed  in  the  conflagration  of  Portsmouth,  1802.

Chapters  xxix.  to  xl.,  pp.  257  to  364,  the  author  has  entirely  devoted  to  the 
narration  of  his  observations  on  the  Indians,  then  inhabiting  the  territory  he 
visited.  Chapter  Hi.,  pp.  456  to  472,  is  entitled,  "  Life  of  George  Augustus 
Bowles,  an  Englishman,  who  abandoned  civilization  to  become  chief  of  the 
Creek  Nation.  The  life  of  this  worthy  was  printed  in  a  small  duodecimo 
volume,  in  England,  whither  he  had  gone  to  negotiate  some  treaty  for  his 
tribe. 

The  volume  contains  the  narration  of  the  personal  experience  of  a  traveller 
whose  curiosity  was  not  sated  with  what  he  saw,  but  who  sought  from  books 
the  particulars  he  did  not  himself  observe,  and  thus  fills  out  the  form  of 
which  he  himself  observed  but  the  mere  outlines.  Although  there  is  little 
produced  that  is  new,  the  author  gives  it  to  us  in  a  pleasing  and  readable 
style,  and  thus,  without  adding  much  to  our  stock  of  information,  makes  that 
we  already  possessed  more  available.

his  entrance  upon  the  territory  of  a  neutral  power,  seizing  and  hanging

"The  engraved  title-page  has  portraits  of  St.  Brandon,  and  Father  Buell,  on 
either  side  ot  the  text.  The  latter  personage  accompanied  Columbus  in  his 
second  voyage.  The  title  is  sometimes  an  inch  or  two  longer  than  the 
volume,  and  folded  back,  or  torn  away  below  the  date,  in  which  last  condi- 
tion, but  little  would  appear  to  be  missing.  There  is  however  in  this  por- 
tion an  oval  engraving  of  the  two  continents,  on  each  side  of  which  is  a 
medallion  cut.  Most  of  the  large  folding-plates  have  numeroirs  figures  of 
the  aborigines,  exhibited  in  some  stately  pageant  of  homage  to  the  discover- 
ers and  evangelists,  or  in  a  horrid  festival  of  cannibalism,  or  in  some  appalling 
scene  of  massacre  and  torture  perpetrated  upon  them.  A  cunous  biblio- 
graphical history  attaches  to  this  volume.  The  real  name  of  the  author  was 
Caspar  Plautus,  who  assumed  the  pseudonym  of  Philoponus,  in  order  to 
admit  of  one  of  the  most  extraordinary  devices  of  egotism,  ever  contrived.

He  wrote  a  most  fulsome  piece  of  flattery,  and  in  his  character  of  Philoponus, 
dedicated  it  to  himself,  in  his  own  proper  cognomen.  By  this  device,  his 
work,  everywhere  it  was  read,  advertised  the  merit  and  learning  of  Caspar 
Plautus,  and  the  praise  seemed  vastly  more  important,  as  issuing  from  so 
learned  a  person  as  Philoponus.  Mr.  Henry  Stevens  first  called  the  atten- 
tion of  English  scholars  to  this  curious  chapter  in  the  history  of  egotism. 
The  work  contains  the  relations  of  the  first  Catholic  missionaries  to  the 
Indians  of  America,  some  of  whom  accompanied  Columbus  in  his  second 
voyage,  and  has  the  merit  of  affording  us  many  incidents  of  their  work 
among  the  savages  of  the  first  discovered  islands.  It  is  deformed,  however, 
by  neai'ly  as  many  monkish  tales  of  the  miracles  performed  by  them,  on 
most  whimsical  occasions. 
Father  Buell,  whose  labors  among  the  Indians  the  work  principally  com- 
memorates, was  a  Benedictine  monk  of  Montserrat,  a  man  of  learning  and 
piety,  chosen  by  their  Catholic  Majesties  Ferdinand  and  Isabella  to  preach 
in  the  New  World.  Pope  Alexander  VI.  decorated  him  with  the  pallium 
of  Vicar-general  in  America,  of  which  he  is  regarded  as  the  first  patriarch. 
Accompanied  by  two  priests  of  his  order,  he  embarked  with  Columbus  in 
1493.  After  his  arrival  in  America,  he  formed  one  of  the  wretched  cabal 
against  the  immortal  Admiral,  and  went  to  Spain,  in  order  to  appear  against 
him.  He  never  returned  to  America.  The  aifthor  of  this  work  on  the  dis- 
covery of  the  New  World,  and  the  first  missions  among  its  natives  by  the 
evangelists  of  the  order  of  St.  Benoit,  was  a  monk  in  the  convent  of  Seitten- 
stoet,  in  lower  Austria.

On  the  thirty-four  folio  pages  of  engravings,  will  be  found  seventy-five  plates, 
illustrating  the  religious  rites,  amatory  customs,  funeral  ceremonies,  habita- 
tions, utensils,  and  weapons  of  various  nations  of  American  aborigines. 

They  are  mostly  copied  from  those  in  the  celebrated  series  of  De  Bry,  and 
are  engraved  with  equal  excellence  of  art.  They  are  indeed  so  finely  exe- 
cuted, both  in  the  drawing  and  engraving,  that  there  are  few  plates  even  at 
this  day  which  excel  them.  Unfortunately  the  artist  followed  the  fashion 
of  his  time,  and  represented  the  American  savages  with  the  Caucasian  com- 
plexion and  features.  Pages  1  to  73  are  occupied  with  a  "  Dissertation  on 
the  Natives  of  America."  Pages  74  to  211  are  devoted  to  a  "  Description  of

dians of  Florida,  Virginia,  and  Canada."

In  every  essay  to  reduce  an  American  aboriginal  language  to  writing,  the 
difficulty  of  representing  by  alphabetic  signs,  vocal   sounds   produced  by

organs  never  used  in  civilized  speech,  has  caused  each  writer  to  record  his 
conception  of  them,  in  an  arbitrary  manner,  which  perhaps  no  other  person 
would  accurately  comprehend.  This  has  produced  the  greatest  variety  of 
orthof^raphical  forms,  of  the  same  Indian  words.  We  are  utterly  unable  at 
this  day  to  recognize  a  single  Indian  nation,  whose  name  is  recorded  by 
Cabe9a  de  Vaca,  in  1542.  Mr.  Pickering  in  his  essay  sought  to  remedy  this 
defect  by  assuming  certain  diacritical  signs,  by  the  omission  of  C.  J.  Q.  X. 
and  by  additional  consonants,  formed  from  combinations  of  our  own.  What 
hope,  however,  could  be  entertained  of  expressing  by  these  means,  the  Maya 
and  other  Mexican  languages,  in  the  enunciation  of  which  the  lips,  teeth, 
and  tongue,  have  so  little  function,  or  in  which  the  strong  labial,  dental,  and 
even  nasal  sounds  are  so  seldom  used  ?

This  work  is  the  record  of  personal  examination  of  a  great  number  of  ancient 
mounds  and  fortifications,  and  of  the  traditions  regarding  them,  obtained 
from  an  aged  Sioux  chief.  The  author  was  animated  by  an  eager  curiosity, 
which  unhappily  was  directed  by  no  familiarity  with  science,  and  accordingly 
what  would  otherwise  have  been  really  valuable  results  from  his  researches, 
are  rendered  almost  useless  by  their  blending  with  baseless  hypotheses,  and 
as  unreliable  traditions.  If,  however,  read  with  care  to  discriminate  between 
the  fanciful  and  the  real,  the  book  will  be  found  to  add  a  large  fund  of  in- 
formation to  our  stock  of  knowledge  of  aboriginal  antiquities.  His  develop- 
ment of  Indian  character  is  also  not  without  interest,  as  it  is  the  result  of 
personal  intercourse  with  many  individuals  of  different  tribes.  The  numer- 
ous plates  afford  very  clear  illustrations  of  many  remains  of  Indian  struct- 
ures.

that  only  the  two  noticed  were  ever  engjraved.  Book  I.  is  almost  entirely 
devoted  to  a  description  of  the  peculiar  rites  and  ceremonies  of  the  Indians 
in  New  Grenada.  The  remainder  of  the  work  is  largely  occupied  with  the  nar- 
ration of  battles  with  the  natives,  their  work  in  the  mines,  their  revolts,  sub-

more  to  be  regretted,  as  it  relates  to  a  portion  of  America  of  which  we  pos- 
sess the  fewest  documents.     The  work  in  any  condition  is  very  rare.

This  accomplished  officer  was  the  first  explorer  under  the  government  of  the 

United  States,  of  that  vast  portion  of  the  republic  now  forming  the  States  of 
Arkansas,  Texas,  and  New  Mexico.  His  accounts  of  the  principal  features 
of  the  country,  and  of  the  savage  tribes  which  inhabited  it,  are  accurate  and 
interesting.  Six  years  after  completing  this  tour,  he  was  killed  at  Little 
York,  in  Canada,  by  the  explosion  of  a  magazine  in  a  fort,  from  which  he 
had  just  before  driven  the  garrison  by  assault.

additions."  Captain  Pike  could  be  charged  with  no  association  in  this  mis-

"  A  Narrative  of  a  Journey  in  the  Prairie,"  occupies  the  first  eighty  pages  of 
the  book.  This  tour,  made  in  1831,  through  the  country  of  the  Comanches, 
and  other  Indian  tribes,  gives  some  interesting  particulars  of  their  life  and 
customs.  The  author,  thirty  years  subsequently,  organized  and  commanded 
a  brigade  of  the  half-civilized  Indians,  from  the  territory  set  apart  for  them, 
and  fought  at  their  head  on  several  occasions  in  the  civil  war.  Neither  him-

ceive some  attention,  and  most  of  them  a  critical  examination.  The  pecul-

tokens  of  more  labor  aided  by  learning  than  this,  yet  it  is  said  by  excellent

This  journal  is  the  sequel  to  that  printed  by  Charles  Thompson,  Secretary  to  the 
Continental  Congress,  in  his  Enquiry  into  the  Causes  of  the  Alienation  of  the 
Delaware  and  Shawnesse  Tribe  of  Indians.  It  exhibits  in  a  still  stronger  light 
the  intrepidity  and  self-devotion  of  this  noble  Quaker.  Since  the  days  of 
Regulus  no  more  perilous  mission  has  been  undertaken  by  a  single  man. 
.  Braddock  had  been  defeated,  and  eight  hundred  white  soldiers  slain.  Forbes 
was  preparing  for  his  invasion  of  the  Indian  territory.  Piiilcss  massacre 
reigned  on  both  sides.  Kewards  that  would  have  tempted  all  the  fierce  bor- 
derere  a  year  before,  were  offered  in  vain,  until  Christian  Post,  rejecting  all 
offers  of  compensation,  and  solely  for  peace  and  merey's  sake,  set  out  upon 
his  mission.  Every  step  through  the  wilderness,  the  most  appalling  dangers 
thickened  around  him.  A  hundred  times  were  savage  arms  raised  to  destroy 
him,  and  a  hundred  times  by  little  less  than  miracles,  the  blows  were  averted.

It  is  impossible  to  exaggerate  the  importance  of  the  work  he  accomplished. 
By  his  persuasions  he  detached  the  Ohio  Indians  from  the  French  interest, 
and  the  empire  of  that  nation  in  the  west  fell.

The  humane  and  sagacious  policy  indicated  by  this  gentleman,  for  the  conduct 
of  Indian  aflfairs,  and  especially  as  affecting  the  Apaches,  contrasts  strangely 
with  the  sanguinary  and  atrocious  recommendations  and  practices,  of  most 
Western  statesmen.

The  publisher  printed  two  sizes  of  this  translation  of  Pouchot's  memoir, 
fifty-seven  of  the  edition  of  two  hundred  copies  being  in  large  quarto.  The 
work  is  a  faithful  reproduction  of  the  very  minute  journal  of  a  French  of- 
ficer, engaged  in  the  wars  between  the  English  Colonies  and  the  French  and 
Indians,  from  1755  to  1761.  The  work  is  evidently  written  by  a  gentleman 
of  education  and  intelligence,  as  an  exculpation  of  himself,  from  some  real  or 
fancied  charges,  regarding  the  loss  of  Canada  to  the  French  monarchy.  His 
work  is  full  of  the  details  of  Indian  warfare,  the  narratives  of  their  skir- 
mishes, and  battles  with  the  English,  and  of  anecdotes  and  incidents  of  their 
association  with  the  French.  A  division  of  the  work  commencing  at  page 
180  of  Vol.  II.  and  ending  at  page  261,  is  entitled  "On  the  Customs  and 
Manners  of  the  Indians  of  North  America,"  in  which  the  author  more  par- 
ticularly relates  the  peculiarities  of  the  natives  of  Canada.

8°    Philadelphia ;  J.  B.  Lippmcott,  1869.  1239 

Book  I.,  pp.  1  to  208,  of  Vol.  III.  is  occupied  with  a  "  View  of  the  Aztec 
Civilization,"  which  comprises  a  summary  of  the  history  of  that  race  of 
American  aborigines,  so  far  as  the  author's  materials  would  furnish  data, 
without  venturing  upon  the  gloomy  territory  of  Indian  mythology.  Mr. 
Prescott  made  liberal  use  for  this  purpose  of  the  MS.  Relaciones  of  Fernando 
de  Alva  Ixitlilxochitl,  the  native  Aztec  historian,  a  sketch  of  whose  life  has 
been  already  given.  The  principal,  and  as  Mr.  Prescott  aseerts,  the  only 
complete  work  of  Ixitlilxochitl,  is  the  Historia  Chickemeca,  printed  in  Span- 
ish by  Lord  Kingsborough,  in  his  great  collection ;  and  by  Ternaux  in 
French,  in  his  voyages  and  travels.  The  remainder  of  the  volumes,  is  prin- 
cipally occupied  with  the  narrative  and  incidents  of  the  struggles  of  the  war- 
like Aztecs,  with  the  Spanish  invaders.  Here  the  author  treads  on  safer 
ground,  but  his  care  in  proving  its  firmness,  step  by  step,  has  made  us  feel 
secure,  even  in  his  anti-Cortesian  history. 

There  is  but  one  point  at  which  we  hesitate  to  follow  his  leading.  With  the 
partiality  of  an  author  for  his  hero,  he  treats  lightly  the  treachery  of  a 
Christian  general,  who  broke  his  most  solemn  oaths  with  the  indifference  of 
a  common  swindler,  who  made  the  earth  sodden  with  the  blood  of  unresist- 
ing and  almost  impotent  victims,  and  who  exterminated  a  tribe,  or  a  nation 
with  equal  indifference,  to  secure  himself  from  the  possible  trouble  of  recon- 
quering it.  The  English  edition  of  Mr.  Prescott's  .work  is  far  superior  to 
the  late  American,  as  indeed  are  the  earlier  ones  published  in  this  country.

for  authenticity,  than  any  other  treatise  on  this  subject,  hitherto  esteemed  so 
mythical.  Several  contemporaneous  authors  who  were  familiar  with  the

The  first  compiled  a  history  of  the  ancient  Peruvians,  derived  from  such 
matciials  as  he  obtained  from  the  ancient  Indian  nobles  and  priests.  Sar-

the  last,  have  never  been  printed,  and  are  derived  from  the  most  intimate 
and  friendly  relations,  of  a  kind  and  prudent  official,  with  the  most  learned 
of  the  Incas.  We  have  therefore  the  strongest  reasons  for  crediting  the 
authenticity  of  Mr.  Prescott's  history.

Narrative  of  an  Expedition  to  the  Shores  of  the  Arctic  Sea  in 
1846  and  1847.  By  John  Rae,  Hudsons  Bay  Service,  and

Like  all  other  expeditions  by  land  to  the  Arctic  Ocean,  the  success  of  this 
was  attributable  largely  to  the  aid  derived  from  the  Red  Indians  and  the 
Esquimaux.  In  consequence,  the  volume  is  occupied  to  a  great  extent  with 
a  detail  of  incidents  associated  with  Indian  life  and  habits.  The  methods 
by  which  the  hardy  aborigines  of  the  Arctic  zone  prolong  their  lives,  which 
are  one  long  struggle  with  starvation  and  famine,  their  craft  and  devices 
in  hunting  and  fishmg,  and  many  other  particulars  of  their  condition,  are 
interwoven  with  the  journal.

Amidst  much  that  borders  on  the  whimsical,  the  author  of  this  pamphlet  has 
produced  a  vast  collection  of  facts  relating  to  the  histoiy,  language,  and 
antiquities  of  the  Aborigines  of  America.    He  was  a  man  of  much  learning,

insatiable  zeal  in  pursuit  of  knowledge,  and  tireless  industry,  but  he  lived  at 
a  period  when  ethnology  had  not  crystallized  into  a  science,  and  his  reports 
of  his  own  investigations  have  the  appearance  of  crudeness  and  hypothesis. 
To  class  him  with  the  mere  speculator  upon  science  and  history,  would  be 
an  act  of  injustice,  as  he  was  undoubtedly  an  original  investigator.  This 
work  first  appeared  as  an  introduction  to  Marshall's  Historij  of  Kentucky. 
Rafinesque  added  a  table,  abridged  from  a  survey  of  nearly  500  languages 
and  dialects  (principally  found  in  Adelung),  and  printed  a  few  copies  in 
this  form.  This  ethnological  and  philological  table,  compares  four  princi- 
pal words  of  fourteen  Indian  languages  with  thirty-four  primitive  Asiatic 
and  European  dialects,  and  occupies  two  pages.  Pages  1  to  26  are  occupied 
with  an  examination  of  the  period  of  the  pre-Columbian  history  of  the  Abo- 
rigines, and  down  to  1540;  and  pp.  27  to  31,  with  the  annals  of  Aborigi- 
nal history  of  Kentucky.  The  Appendix,  pp.  33  to  37,  is  occupied  with 
an  "  Enumeration  of  the  Sites  of  Ancient  Towns  and  Monuments  of  Ken- 
tucky," in  which  he  describes  148  localities  in  that  State  alone,  where  he  had 
found  Aboriginal  remains.  He  says,  "  The  actual  number  of  ancient  seats 
of  population,  already  ascertained  by  me  in  North  America,  is  541,  while 
the  ancient  monuments  found  in  these  sites,  amount  already  to  1830.  I 
entertain  no  doubt  that  1,000  sites  and  4,000  monuments,  exist  still  in  the 
United  States,  exclusive  of  Mexico."'  Both  Mr.  Squier  and  Mr.  Davis 
informed  the  writer,  that  they  believed  10,000  mounds  and  fortifications  ex- 
isted in  the  Mississippi  Valley  alone  unexplored.

This  extraordinary  mass  of  learning,  hypothesis,  and  wretched  moonings,  is 
not  without  its  large  share  of  utility,  if  one  had  the  patience  to  separate  the 
veritable  philological  gold  from  the  dross  of  conjecture.  There  seems  to  be 
in  some  minds  every  quality  for  obtaining  vast  stores  of  learning,  patient 
investigation,  rare  scholarship,  and  admirable  skill  in  research  ;  but  so  little 
susceptible  to  the  rigid  control  of  logical  selection,  that  their  attainments 
and  discoveries  are  almost  useless.  These  volumes  are  largely  made  up  of 
comparative  vocabularies  of  Indian  languages.

Almost  the  entire  volume  is  filled  with  minute  narratives  of  the  Indian  wars 
with  the  Colonists.  The  author,  one  of  the  first-born  citizens  of  the  State 
of  Tennessee,  found  himself  in  1820,  by  the  death  of  his  father,  an  early  pio- 
neer of  the  territory,  in  possession  of  a  great  mass  of  journals  and  paj)crs 
relating  to  its  early  historj'.  His  zeal  added  to  these,  the  documents  of 
Governor  Sevier  and  other  public  men.  He  sought  out  the  old  soldiers  and 
frontiersmen,  and  obtained  from  them  both  written  and  oral  narratives  of 
border  adventure.     Most  of  these  he  reproduces  in  their  original  style  and

language.  His  history  is  therefore  something  more  and  better  than  the  or- 
dinary compilations,  so  styled.  It  is  a  mass  of  minute  narrative  material 
relating  to  the  Indians,  the  border  wars,  and  the  principal  pioneers,  moulded 
into  a  consecutive  and  regular  story.  Although  he  has  copied  somewhat 
from  the  rare  book  of  Haywood,  his  work  is  almost  wholly  original,  and 
contains  a  vast  amount  of  aboriginal  history  never  before  printed.

A  very  considerable  amount  of  valuable  historic  material  has  been  grouped 
in  this  volume,  relative  to  Mexican  antiquities,  but  as  in  every  treatise  writ- 
ten to  maintain  a  fanciful  hypothesis,  its  value  is  greatly  deteriorated,  from 
the  bias  given  every  fact,  to  maintain  a  theory  incapable  of  either  proof  or 
denial.

The  original  work  printed  in  Portuguese,  at  Evora  in  1557,  of  which  this  is 
a  translation,  may  perhaps  be  considered  as  the  rarest  work  relating  to 
American  history  known  to  have  been  published.  It  was  priced  by  Mr. 
Rich,  forty  years  since,  at  thirty  guineas.  The  present  work  is  believed  to 
have  been  translated  from  the  edition  in  French,  printed  in  Paris  the  year 
before.  Mr.  Rich  says  the  translator  seemed  to  be  unaware  that  Hakluyt 
printed  it  in  English,  nearly  eighty  years  previously,  that  is,  in  1609.  It  is 
interesting  as  being  the  second  printed  account  of  Florida,  the  Commen- 
taries of  Cabeca  de  Vaca  having  been  printed  in  1555.  The  volume  has  an 
additional  value  in  containing  the  first  relation  of  the  settlement  of  Califor- 
nia printed  in  English,  the  new  descent  of  the  Spaniards  on  the  Island  of 
California  having  taken  place  in  1683.  Both  Relations  are  almost  wholly 
occupied  with  the  ceremonies,  treaties,  and  battles  with  the  Indians.

government.] 

Vol.  I.   Contains  Fourteen  Relations,   covering  a  period  of  twelve  years, 
1611  to  1626,  and  1632  to  1641. 
Vol.  II.   Contains  Fourteen  Relations,  covering  a  period  of  fourteen  years, 
from  1642  to  1655. 

Vol.  III.  Contains  Seventeen  Relations,  covering  a  pei-iod  also  of  fourteen 
years,  from  1656  to  1672. 
The  Relations  of  each  year  are  paged  separately,  and  form  therefore  forty- 
five  distinct  memoirs,  which  are  required  to  make  the  work  complete.  A 
table  of  contents  to  each  volume,  divided  into  years  and  relations,  facilitates 
the  collation.  At  the  end  of  the  third  volume  will  be  found  a  general  index 
to  the  whole  work. 
This  is  the  most  extraordinary  and  valuable  collection  of  material,  relating  to 
the  history  and  life  of  the  Indians  ever  made.  It  is  composed  of  the  narrar 
lives  of  a  class  of  men  who,  two  centuries  before  what  we  boastingly  term 
civilization,  had  prostrated  the  forests  and  exterminated  their  free  occupants, 
—  explored  the  vast  territories  covered  by  them,  recorded  the  peculiarities 
of  their  natives,  and  in  many  instances  bestowed  the  blessings  of  Chris- 
tianity upon  them.  These  relations,  for  many  years  looked  upon  through 
the  haze  of  sectarian  distrust,  were  lightly  esteemed  by  the  students  of 
American  history,  but  the  more  their  character  and  statements  v/ere  investi- 
gated, the  more  important  and  valuable  they  appeared.  They  have  become 
the  sources  from  which  we  must  draw  almost  all  the  historic  material  of  New 
York  and  Canada,  during  the  first  century  and  a  half  of  their  exploration 
by  Europeans.  From  the  manuscript  relations  sent  to  the  head  of  the  order, 
small  editions  were  printed  in  12°  by  the  Cramoisy  Press.  Copies  of  these 
have  become  exceedingly  rare.  It  is  not  known  that  a  perfect  series  exists 
in  any  library,  although  several  collectors  have  closely  approached  com- 
pleteness. The  library  of  the  Canadian  government  at  Quebec  had  nearly 
the  number  forming  the  series,  when  its  collection  was  destroyed  in  the  great 
conflagration  of  1854.  It  was  to  perpetuate  these  monuments  of  the  early 
history  of  Canada,  that  Parliament  ordered  their  publication  in  this  form.

Report 

of  the  Commissioner  of  Indian  Affairs.  Thirty-six  volumes. 
8°     Washington,  1835  to  1870.  1284 

The  reports  of  the  Indian  bureau,  and  of  the  commissioner  for  Indian  affairs, 
form  a  body  of  material  relating  to  the  Indians,  almost  unrivaled  for  its 
minuteness  in  any  department  of  history.  The  names,  numbers,  and  con- 
dition of  the  Indian  tribes,  are  given  with  all  the  attention  to  details  and 
correctness,  which  a  multitude  of  agents  more  or  less  efficient,  and  some- 
times conscientious,  could  be  induced  by  interest  and  discipline  to  collect. 
To  no  other  source  can  we  look  for  the  progressive  steps,  by  which  the  sav- 
age tribes  retreated  before  the  overwhelming  charge  of  the  army  of  civiliza- 
tion. The  reports  cover  the  whole  history  of  the  dealings  of  the  government 
with  its  Indian  wards.  They  have  become  exceeding^y  scarce,  for  no  com- 
plete set  is  known  to  exist,  even  in  the  library  of  Congress  or  in  the  docu- 
ments of  the  Indian  Bureau.

Report 
of  the  Memorials  of  the  Seneca  Indians  and  Others,  accepted 
November  21,  1840,  in  the  Council  of  Massachusetts.  8°  pp. 
28.  Boston,  Button  Sf  Wentworth,  State  Printers,  1840.  1285 
This  report  exposes  another  of  those  schemes  of  villany  which  the  agents  of 
the  government  have  been  so  fertile  in  producing.  The  details  of  cai-efully 
planned  delusions,  by  which  the  Indians  were  cheated  of  their  lands  ;  of  the 
connivance  of  the  government ;  and  of  the  bribed  collusions  of  its  commis- 
sioner with  other  plunderers ;  are  so  uniform  and  so  constant  wherever  the 
Indian  is  concerned,  as  generally  to  lack  the  interest  of  novelty.  In  this 
case  the  story  is  more  revolting  than  usual.  The  United  States  commis- 
sioner, Mr.  Gillet  (may  his  name  be  infamous),  boldly  announced  himself 
on  the  side  of  the  robbers.  These  speculators  had  procured  the  signatures 
of  sixteen  chiefs  to  their  deed  of  cession,  but  when  in  the  presence  of  the 
infamous  Gillet,  sixty-three  others  desired  to  execute  a  protest  against  being 
driven  from  their  homes,  he  refused  to  permit  them,  and  broke  up  the  coun- 
cil. This  pamphlet  is  the  report  of  a  committee  of  the  Legislature  of  Mas- 
sachusetts, which  had  a  year  previously,  ratified  the  deed  thus  villianously 
procured.  The  committee  report  the  facts  with  many  civil  regrets,  that  the 
State  should  have  been  deluded  into  aiding  the  robbery  of  the  Indians,  and 
recommend  after  the  settled  fashion  of  committees,  that  nothing  be  done. 
Thus  the  State  of  Massachusetts  received  money  which  was  the  proceeds  of 
the  robbery  of  two  thousand  Indians ;  of  their  forced  exclusion  from  their 
homes,  and  declined  to  restore  her  share  of  the  plunder.

This  is  a  reprint  of  the  New  York  edition,  in  larger  type,  and  extended  to 
eijihtccn  pa<,'cs  more  than  the  first  edition.  An  abridged  and  interpolated 
edition  of  the  work,  was  printed  in  New  York  in  1808,  entitled  "  The.  Pow- 
ow,  being  an  exact  description  of  an  Indian  banquet,  by  John  liodes,  thirteen 
years  Captive,  Sfc."  It  was  a  mean  affair  in  every  respect.  There  is  noth- 
ing in  this  narrative  to  attest  its  truth,  and  the  internal  evidence  is  not 
sufficient  to  settle  the  question  of  its  veracity.  Without  something  more 
definite  than. we  now  possess  regarding  its  authenticity,  it  must  remain 
worthless  for  historical  purposes.  It  contains  some  curious  details  of  the 
customs  of  the  Indians  of  Central  America.

The  wonderful  self-devotion  of  the  Jesuit  missionaries  among  the  Indians, 
during  the  sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries,  has  of  late  years  challenged 
the  admiration  and  astonishment  of  historical  students  who  have  discovered 
the  monuments  of  literary  labor,  raised  by  them  in  the  translations  of  sacred 
books  into  dialects  almost  unpronounceable  by  European  organs.  Not  less 
heroic  and  astonishing,  are  tbe  devotion  and  labor  of  the  modern  avant-cour- 
iers  of  Christianity  and  civilization,  who  like  the  author,  turn  their  backs 
on  the  soft  enticements  of  the  one,  to  diffuse  the  faith  of  the  other  among 
barbarous  nations.  Mr.  Kiggs,  with  the  true  spirit  of  an  Ai)ostle,  not  only 
gave  his  life  to  the  dissemination  of  religious  truths,  but  added  to  these  ex- 
hausting duties,  the  task  of  constructing  a  monumental  lexicon  of  the  Dakota 
tongue.

Two  volumes.  Text.  4®  pp.  xiv.  -|-  328.  Atlas  of  plates  imperial  oblong 
4°    Iviii.  pages  of  plates. 

This  work  was  the  result  of  toilsome  research,  by  two  learned  gentlemen,  Dr. 
Tschudi,  a  German,  long  resident  in  Peru,  and  Dr.  Riviero,  a  native  of  that 
country.  Their  contribution  to  ethnological  and  philological  science,  has 
been  esteemed  by  the  learned  world  among  the  most  valuable,  after  that  of 
Humboldt,  of  those  relating  to  South  America.  The  first  volume  contain- 
ing the  text  is  divided  into  ten  chapters,  each  discussing  some  plitise  in  the 
history,  religion,  civilization,  arts,  monuments,  and  language  of  the  Incas. 
Chapter  v.,  pp.  86  to  128,  is  entirely  devoted  to  an  examination  of  the  prin- 
ciples and  grammatical  construction  of  the  Qiiichua  language;  and  on  pp. 
98  to  100  is  a  bibliography  which  gives  the  titles  of  sixteen  printed  works 
in  that  language. 

The  second  volume  is  an  oblong  folio  of  fifty-eight  pages,  containing  more 
than  eighty  plates,  and  representing  more  than  twice  that  number  of  objects. 
The  structures  of  the  Incas,  both  as  now  existing  and  as  restored  to  their 
original  shape  and  dimensions,  the  mummied  forms  of  the  ancient  inhab- 
itants, their  sacrificial  and  agricultural  implements,  are  the  subjects  of  these 
finely  executed  lithographic  plates.  These  are  all  colored.  Dr.  Tschudi 
subsequently  published  a  work  which  was  translated  into  English,  and 
printed  in  London  and  New  York,  under  the  title  of  Travels  in  Peru,  in 
which  slight  evidences  of  jealousy  of  his  associate  appear.

A  residence  of  six  years  among  the  natives  of  the  Hudson's  Bay  territories, 
could  not  but  afford  some  original  information  regarding  them.  As  the 
narrative  portion  is,  however,  confined  to  the  first  eighty-four  pages,  this  ad- 
dition to  our  stock  of  knowledge  is  far  less  than  we  had  a  right  to  expect.

In  this  work,  attributed  to  and  claimed  by  De  Rochefort,  have  been  preserved 
very  many  curious  and  interesting  particulars  of  the  life,  habits,  and  char- 
acter of  the  Caribs,  more  especially  of  the  Apalachites.  The  last  eighteen 
chapters,  pp.  344  to  583,  are  entirely  devoted  to  the  relation  of  these  partic- 
ulars, with  a  copious  vocabulary  of  their  language.  But  those  relations 
which  are  true,  are  said  to  have  been  purloined  from  authors,  whose  personal 
experience  relieved  them  from  the  necessity  of  furnishing  details  from  their 
own  imagination.  Rochefort's  Nemesis  was  John  Davies  of  London,  who  in 
1666  published  a  translation  of  the  work,  in  which  he  utterly  ignored  the 
existence  of  the  ci-devant  French  author. 

It  did  not  suffice,  however,  that  Davies  should  rob  Rochefort  of  his  stolen 
laurels,  but  the  partly  fictitious,  and  partly  abstracted  materials  of  his  work 
were  successively  plundered  by  Ogilby,  Montanus,  Dapper,  Oldmixon,  and 
a  long  heirship  of  literary  thieves.  There  is  something  oddly  fitting  and 
harmonious  as  well  as  ludicrous,  that  each  of  these  marauders  believed  that 
he  was  stealing  the  unadulterated  gold  of  veracious  history,  from  each  of  the 
mendacious  robbers  who  preceded  him. 

It  is  now  certain  that  Rochefort  appropriated  the  labors  of  a  savant  named 
Du  Tertre,  whose  name  he  utterly  ignores.  Davies  levies  upon  Rochefort's 
supposed  original  material,  and  Ogilby,  equally  ignorant  thut  the  whole  of 
the  treasure  had  been  purloined,  absorbs  it  almost  bodily  into  his  great  folio. 
The  stolen  wealth  is  constantly  being  unlawfully  transferred  from  hand  to 
hand.  Mr.  Rich  relates  the  story  of  the  original  theft  at  length.  Father 
Du  Tertre,  a  missionary  who  had  spent  some  years  in  the  West  Indies,  wrote 
a  history  of  the  Antilles,  the  manuscript  of  which  was  borrowed  from  a 
friend  with  whom  he  had  deposited  it,  by  a  general,  for  the  inspection  of  an- 
other friend  who  was  preparing  a  work  on  the  same  subject.  This  unknown 
author  proved  to  be  a  Protestant  clergyman  of  New  Rochelle,  named  Roche- 
fort, who  had  twice  visited  the  islands. 

On  hearing  of  the  unfaithful  disposition  of  his  labors,  Father  Du  Tertre,  fear- 
ing that  his  work  would  be  anticit)ated  by  another,  hurriedly  brought  it  to 
press,  in  1654,  under  the  title  o{  liistoire  Generale  des  Isles  de  S.  Christophe, 
etc.,  which  Mr.  Rich  says  was  in  reality  only  a  project  of  that  work.  The 
work  of  Rochefort  was  printed  in  1658,  and  his  second  edition  in  1665. 
Father  Du  Tertre  published  the  first  two  volumes  of  his  Histoire  Generale 
des  Antilles,  in  1668,  and  the  last  two  in  1671.  In  his  preface  to  this  work 
he  narrates  the  story  of  the  loan  of  his  manuscript  and  its  appropriation  by 
Rochefort,  affirming  that  it  is  so  faithfully  copied  that  even  his  errors  have 
not  escaped,  but  have,  in  common  with  his  facts,  been  stolen  by  the  latter. 
It  was  the  fate  of  the  second  robber  Davies  to  meet  with  retribution  in  a 
double  shape.  His  work  was  published  in  the  same  year  with  the  great  con- 
flagration which  consumed  one  half  of  London,  and  in  it  disappeared  nearly 
the  whole  edition  of  his  history.

The  journal  of  this  celebrated  partisan  chief  affords  us  many  interesting  de- 
tails of  border  warfare,  in  the  French  and  Indian  War,  which  ended  seventeen 
years  before  the  Revolution.  It  was  while  associated  with  Rogers  that  Gen- 
eral Putnam  is  said  to  have  experienced  those  wonderful  adventures,  with 
the  relation  of  which  our  youthful  nerves  have  so  often  thrilled.  It  is  how- 
ever remarkable,  that  Major  Rogers  does  not  even  mention  the  name  of 
Putnam.  The  last  page  (347),  is  unnumbered  and  entitled,  "  Advertisement." 
It  announces  a  continuation,  or  second  part  of  the  journal,  which  never  ap- 
peared, as  the  subscriptions  of  a  guinea  a  copy  were  probably  not  sufficiently 
numerous.

This  historical  essay,  by  the  famous  partisan  officer  and  Indian  fighter,  al- 
though by  no  means  equal  to  his  Journal  in  interest,  is  not  without  merit. 
In  the  "  concise  account "  of  the  several  colonies,  he  mingles  manj'  particu- 
lars of  the  Indian  nations,  but  its  especial  interest  is  to  be  found  in  the  sec- 
tion of  his  volume  devoted  to  the  "  Customs,  Manners,  and  Government  of 
the  Indians,"  pp.  205  to  264.  These  relations  are  the  result  of  his  own  per-

This  first  volume  of  Sir  John  Ross's  narratives  of  discovery,  contains  but 
little  regarding  the  natives  of  the  frigid  zone.  Chapters  v.  and  vii.  are 
occupied  with  an  account  of  the  discovery  of  an  unknown  tribe  of  Esqui-

Another  of  those  wonderfully  interesting  narratives  of  human  endurance, 
triumphing  over  the  most  awful  peril  and  suffering.  The  sumptuous  print-

splendid  steel  engravmgs  and  lithographs.  The  former  are  so  excellent  as 
to  be  worthy  of  preservation  as  gems  of  art.  Although  everywhere  through 
the  narrative  is  interwoven  the  records  of  aboriginal  life  as  it  appeared  to 
the  explorers,  Chapters  Kvi.,  xvii.,  xviii.,  and  xix.  are  especially  devoted  to 
a  description  of  their  peculiarities.  Of  the  thirtv  plates  seven  are  illustrative

{Philadelphia,  1837.)  1324 

This  letter  of  the  Cherokee  chief  occupies  twenty  pages,  and  is  an  indignant 
remonstrance  against  the  violent  enforcement  of  one  of  those  fraudulent 
treaties,  by  which  the  government  of  the  United  States  have  defrauded  bo 
many  Indian  tribes  of  their  lands.  It  is  accompanied  by  "  Documents  in 
Illustration  of,  or  referred  to  in  the  foregoing  Letter."  The  documents  are 
such  as  would  emanate  from  few  councils  of  white  men,  engaged  in  the  dis- 
cussion of  such  wrongs.  A  number  of  outcast  Indians  of  nb  influence  in 
the  nation,  debauched  with  rum  by  designing  whites,  are  by  these  swindlers 
dubbed  chiefs,  and  made  to  sign  a  treaty  of  surrender  of  all  the  lands  of  the 
nation,  in  the  presence  of  some  of  the  United  States  authorities,  parties  to 
the  robbery,  and  by  virtue  of  a  conveyance  so  forged,  twenty  thousand  land 
proprietors  are  driven  from  their  homes.

Although  the  narratives  by  Ross  Cox  and  Washington  Irving,  of  the  adven- 
tures of  the  hardy  traders,  who  first  established  a  settlement  at  Astoria, 
seem  to  have  left  nothing  to  be  said  regarding  it,  yet  the  relation  of  the 
personal  experience  of  an  intelligent  and  keen  observer,  such  as  the  author 
was,  is  always  welcome.  Chapters  vi.  to  xxi.,  pp.  87  to  341,  are  almost 
wholly  devoted  to  descriptions  of  the  peculiar  habits  and  customs  of  the  ten 
tribes  inhabiting  the  western  slope  of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  The  Appendix, 
pp.  342  to  350,  is  occupied  with  a  vocabulary  of  the  Chinooks.

The  narrations  of  an  intelligent  observer  of  the  peculiarities  of  savage  life, 
always  attract  an  amount  of  interest,  which  increases  in  proportion  to  the 
truthfulness  of  his  coloring  or  shading.  In  all  the  qualities  which  should 
attract  and  hold  our  attention,  it  is  rare  to  find  the  superior  of  Mr.  Ross. 
For  fifteen  years  he  traversed  the  wastes  of  the  Rocky  Mountains,  and  thus 
became  as  familiar  with  every  trait  of  Indian  character  and  phase  of  savage 
life,  as  a  white  man  may  ever  expect  to  be.  As  an  Indian  trader  pushing  his 
commerce  among  friendly  but  treacherous  tribes,  and  even  among  hostile 
ones  who  are  to  be  placated  by  resistless  finery,  or  the  equally  omnipotent 
fire-water,  he  was  often  the  first  white  man  to  burst  upon  their  wild  fast- 
nesses. The  Appendix,  pp.  313  to  333,  contains  a  vocabulary  of  the  Nez 
Perce  language.

Ross  (Alexander). 

The  Red  River  Settlement ;  its  rise,  progress,  and  present  state. 
With  some  account  of  the  Native  Races,  and  its  general  history, 
to  the  present  day.  By  Alexander  Ross,  author  of  the  Fur- 
Hunters  of  the  far  West.  12°  pp.  x\\.-\-  A\%,  frontispiece. 
London:  Smith  Elder  8f  Co.  65  CornhiU,  1856.  1327 

After  many  years  of  toil  and  adventure  among  the  fierce  tribes  of  the  north- 
ern plains  of  Oregon  and  Washington  territory,  the  author  sought  repose 
among  his  associates  in  the  Red  River  Colony.  The  successive  disasters  of 
massacre,  famine,  and  inundation,  drove  him  from  this  forlorn  asylum,  to 
writing  books  descriptive  of  the  wild  people  and  wild  life  he  had  seen.  All 
of  these  works  possess  the  unfailing  interest,  which  attach  to  the  details  of 
an  intelligent  observer  and  a  faithful  narrator.  His  pictuies  are  of  savage 
life  and  manners,  as  seen  by  the  adventurous  voyagers  and  fur-traders  of  the 
Hudson's  Bay  Company.

This  is  the  second  edition  of  one  of  the  earliest  narratives  of  Indian  captivities, 
and  possibly  one  of  the  most  authentic.  The  relation  of  the  manners  and 
peculiarities  of  the  Indians  of  New  England,  in  1675,  by  one  so  observant 
and  scrupulous  in  her  statements,  has  more  than  ordinary  interest  and  value. 
The  original  edition  is  very  rarely  found  complete.

We  are  assured  by  the  author  in  his  preface,  that  his  work  is  a  narration  of 
veritable  incidents  of  Indian  and  frontier  life,  with  fictitious  names  to  some 
of  the  characters,  for  prudential  motives. 

His  relations  of  the  awful  ravages  of  the  Apaches  and  Comanches  in  northern 
Mexico,  are  painfully  vivid.  He  passes  for  weeks  through  ruined  villages, 
whose  inhabitants  have  perished  in  merciless  slaughter,  or  have  been  carried 
into  a  captivity  scarcely  less  horrible.     Year  by  year  the  semi-civilization  of

the  Mexican  has  been  driven  back,  by  the  more  vigorous  savagery  of  the  In- 
dian, until  a  territory  as  large  as  France,  once  subjected  to  law,  and 
thronged  by  active  life,  has  been  depopulated.  Melancholy  as  the  story  is, 
we  read  with  perhaps  not  less  regret,  that  the  precious  historical  manuscripts 
of  New  Mexico,  discovered  by  Mr.  Ruxton,  were  irrecoverably  lost  by  him 
in  crossing  the  Arkansas.

The  relation  of  the  gentleman  of  Elvas,  first  published  in  Portuguese  at 
Evora,  1557,  in  small  8°,  has  a  sufficient  testimony  of  its  great  historical 
value,  in  the  numerous  editions  through  which  it  has  passed.  It  first  ap- 
peared in  its  English  guise,  as  Virginia  Richly  Valued,  translated  by  Richard 
IBLakluvt,  London,  1609.  Small  4°  The  translator  reissued  it  in  1611,  as

toire  de  la  Conqueste  de  la  Floride,  which  was  translated  into  English,  and  the 
next  year  appeared  in  London  in  small  8°  entitled,  Relation  of  the  Invasion 
and  Conquest  of  Florida  by  the  Spaniards. 

It  was  reproduced  in  Purchas  Pilgrimes,  in  Peter  Force's  Tracts,  in  the  His-

on  the  history  of  Florida.  It  ranks  second  only  to  the  relation  of  Cabega

This  jonmal  is  a  most  complete  relation  of  the  character,  peculiarities,  and 
habits  of  life  of  the  Greenlanders,  both  savage  and  Christian.  The  simple 
narrative  of  the  every-day  life  of  a  missionary  among  the  aborigines  of  the 
Arctic  regions,  is  told  by  an  intelligent,  brave-hearted  man,  in  that  most 
pleasing  of  all  styles,  the  natural,  unaffected  one,  which  carries  conviction 
of  its  veritability.

[Dictionary  of  the  Huron  Language,  necessary  to  those  who  have  no  knowl- 
edge of  it,  and  have  to  treat  with  the  Savages  of  the  country.] 

This  work  is  occasionally  found  separate  from  the  Grand  Voyage,  and  hav- 
ing a  distinct  title  and  pagination,  has,  by  some,  been  considered  a  com- 
plete work,  but  iiy  announcement  on  the  title  of  the  Grand  Voyage,  deter- 
mines that  question  in  the  negative.  It  is  said  to  have  been  the  perusal  of 
this  Dictionary,  that  induced  Lord  Monboddo  to  undertake  his  work  on  the 
Origin  and  Progress  of  Language,  but  what  book  incited  his  theory,  that 
mankind  had  progressed  from  the  monkey,  by  asserting  that  a  savage  nation 
had  been  discovered  with  the  rudiments  of  tails,  is  not  stated. 

Father  Charlevoix  speaks  slightingly  of  Sagard's  Dictionary,  but  his  judg- 
ment upon  the  histories  of  New  France  is  commonly  sharp  and  censorious. 
Regarding  Father  Sagard,  it  is  expressed  in  these  words,  "  The  author  of 
this  work  spent  some  time  among  the  Hurons,  and  relates  naively  all  that  he 
saw  and  heard  on  the  spot,  but  he  had  not  time  to  see  things  well  enough, 
still  less  to  verify  all  that  was  told  him.  The  Huron  vocabulary  which  he 
has  left  us,  proves  that  neither  he,  nor  any  of  those  whom  he  consulted,  was 
well  versed  in  that  language,  which  is  a  very  difficult  one.  In  other  re- 
spects he  seems  a  very  judicious  man.  He  gives  us,  on  the  whole,  few  inter- 
esting facts." 

Few  who  read  Father  Sagard's  Grand  Voyage  and  Histoire,  will  coincide  with 
Charlevoix  in  his  severe  judgment,  regarding  the  interest  of  his  history  and 
narrative. 

Father  Sagard,  a  member  of  the  Recollects  in  Paris,  was  directed  by  a  con- 
gregation of  his  order  to  accompany  Father  Nicholas,  in  a  mission  to  the 
savages  of  New  France.  He  sailed  from  Dieppe  in  the  latter  part  of  March, 
1624,  and  arrived  at  Quebec  after  a  voyage  of  three  months  and  six  days, 
during  which  he  endured  such  sufferings,  that  he  says  the  whole  of  his  Life 
has  not  equaled  in  pain.  He  proceeded  at  once  to  the  scene  of  his  mission 
among  the  Hurons,  one  hundred  and  fifty  leagues  west  of  Quebec.  Here  he 
remained  but  a  few  months,  when  it  was  determined  to  send  him  to  Quebec, 
for  supplies.  His  fortitude  was  not  equal  to  the  emergency,  and  worn  down 
with  the  privations  and  sufferings  of  a  missionary's  life,  he  allowed  himself 
to  be  persuaded  by  his  brethren  that  it  was  not  his  vocation.  He  accordingly 
returned  to  his  convent  in  Paris,  where  he  wrote  the  work  we  have  con- 
sidered, and  four  years  subsequently,  produced  his  Histoire  du  Canada. 
Both  of  these  works  were  reprinted  in  Paris  in  1864  and  1866.  Copies  of 
the  original  editions  of  both  these  works  are  excessively  rare,  the  Histoire  du 
Canada  being  much  the  most  difficult  to  procure.

fully  treated  some  of  the  principal  events  which  happened  in  the  country 
since  the  year  1615  to  the  conquest  by  the  English.  The  riches  and  com- 
modities that  they  are  able  to  hope  from  it.  Of  the  manners,  ceremonies,

of  some  of  them,  and  of  the  means  necessary  to  lead  them  to  the  knowledge 
of  God.  Made  and  Composed  by  the  Brother  Gabriel  Sagard  Theodat, 
Minor  Recollect  of  the  Province  of  Paris.  Paris,  Claude  Sonnius,  m.dc.-

This  is  the  title  of  the  original  edition,  which  Mr.  Tross  has  prefixed  to  the 
first  volume  of  his  issue,  and  to  each  of  which  he  gives  a  separate  title,  al- 
though the  pagination  nins  continuou.sly  through  the  whole  four. 

The  second  and  fourth  parts  of  the  lllsloire  da  Canada,  are  little  more  than 
extensions  of  the  Grand  Voyage  and  Dictionary.  The  travels  and  missionary 
labors  of  the  Recollects  among  the  Indians  of  Canada,  for  nine  years  before 
the  arrival  of  Father  Sagard,  form  the  subject  of  Book  I.  The  narrative  of 
his  Grand  Voyage  to  the  Country  of  the  Ilurons,  which  appeared  three  years 
before,  is  extended  by  additional  particulars,  from  chapters  xxii.,  in  the  edi- 
tion of  1632,  to  xlvi.  in  Book  II.  of  the  Histoire  du  Canada.  Book  III.  is  a 
reproduction  of  Part  II.  of  the  Grand  Voyage,  with  new  matter  increasing  it 
from  85  to  135  pages.  Book  IV.  contains  the  history  of  the  Recollect  mis- 
sions to  the  end  of  1629.  The  dictionary  of  the  Huron  language,  which 
formed  a  part  of  Sagard's  first  work,  is  exactly  reproduced  in  the  Histoire, 
together  with  four  pages  of  what  he  styles,  an  Indian  hymn  to  the  devil, 
with  the  musical  notes  of  the  drone  or  howl  in  wiiich  it  was  chanted.  Mr. 
Tross  has  added  to  his  edition,  a  brief  sketch  by  M.  Chevalier,  of  the  Recol- 
lect missions,  and  a  critique  upon  the  works  of  Father  Sagard,  in  which  he 
arraigns  Charlevoix  with  great  severity,  for  his  harsh  judgment  of  them. 
M.  Chevalier  asserts  with  much  reason,  that  Father  Charlevoix,  writing 
one  hundred  years  after  Sagard,  could  himself  know  little  of  the  Huron  lan- 
guage, as  the  people  speaking  it  had  in  his  time  been  long  extinct  as  a 
nation,  and  the  dialect  of  the  few  who  remained  much  corrupted.

Rufus  B.  Sage.  12°  pp.  363.  Boston:  Wentworth  ^  Co.,

This  work  is  a  second  and  enlarged  edition  of  Scenes  in  the  Rocky  Mountains. 
The  author  says  in  his  preface,  that  this  work  was  written  immediately  after 
his  return  from  the  expedition,  the  events  of  which  he  narrates.  He  claims 
for  it  a  veritability  of  which  there  is  some  internal  evidence.  It  is  much 
deformed  by  the  spasmodic  style  he  adopts,  and  the  sentimental  rhapsodies 
he  indulges  in,  but  it  is  crowded  with  incidents  of  Indian  life,  legends,  and 
adventure.

Sagean.] 

Sagean  was  a  Frenchman,  possessed  of  considerable  zeal  and  ambition,  to 
rival  La  Salle,  but  so  ignorant  as  to  be  unable  to  write,  and  scarcely  to  read 
his  own  language.  He  had  doubtless  visited  some  nations  of  Indians,  living 
on  the  eastern  tributaries  of  the  Mississippi,  but  he  was  looked  upon  as  an 
impostor,  when  he  asserted  that  he  had  found  a  nation  of  cannibals  on  the 
Missouri,  whose  country  abounded  in  gold  mines.  The  late  discoveries  in 
Nevada  and  New  Mexico,  give  a  greater  air  of  probability  to  his  story.  The 
manuscript  of  this  hitherto  unprinted  narrative,  was  discovered  at  Paris,  by 
Mr.  Squier.

[General  History  of  the  affairs  of  New  Spain,  which  was  written  in  twelve 
books,  and  two  volumes,  by  Father  Bernardino  de  Sahagun,  of  the  order  of 
St.  Francis,  and  one  of  the  first  preachers  of  the  Gospel,  in  these  countries. 
Edited  with  the  addition  of  notes,  and  a  supplement,  by  Carlos  Maria  de 
Bustamente,  a  deputy  from  the  State  of  Oaxaca,  to  the  General  Congress 
of  the  Mexican  Republic] 

This  wonderful  work,  to  which  the  entire  life  of  Father  Sahagun  was  de- 
voted, is  beyond  question  the  most  important,  as  it  is  the  most  authentic 
history  of  events,  transpiring  in  the  New  World,  before  its  discovery  by 
Columbus.  All  that  relates  to  the  religion,  customs,  government,  and  wars 
of  the  Aztecs,  was  examined  in  a  manner  so  critical,  so  patient  and  thorough 
that  no  history  was  ever  conceived,  or  brought  forth  with  more  labor.  Ber- 
nardino de  Sahagun,  bom  in  a  village  of  Spain,  from  which  he  derived  his 
last  name,  became  a  Franciscan  monk,  and  commenced  his  labors  as  a  mis- 
sionary to  the  Indians  of  Mexico,  in  1529.     Eminent  for  zeal,  purity,  and

toil,  even  among  the  great  number  of  pious  and  devoted  men,  who  sought 
to  redeem  the  New  World  from  paganism,  he  resigned  all  the  high  functions 
his  merit  had  procured  him,  after  some  years  of  service,  in  order  to  devote 
himself  entirely  to  preaching,  and  to  the  examination  of  every  Aztec  picto- 
graph  and  hieroglyph,  which  would  illustrate  the  history  of  that  race.  To 
secure  the  greatest  accuracy  in  his  history,  he  lived  for  several  years  in  an 
Indian  village  of  Tescuco,  where  resided  many  of  the  learned  natives,  who 
had  never  been  taught  the  Spanish  tongue.  Every  day  he  examined  some 
of  them,  regarding  their  antiquities,  and  their  pictograph  paintings.  He 
arranged  long  series  of  questions  regarding  their  ancient  history,  which  they 
answered  by  writing  their  replies  in  their  hieroglyphic  style.  To  assure  him- 
self of  the  authenticity  of  his  version  of  their  answers,  he  submitted  them 
to  natives  who  had  been  educated  at  the  College  of  Santa  Cruz.  These 
scholars  wrote  their  translation  of  the  hieroglyphic  history,  in  the  Mexican 
tongue,  but  with  the  use  of  Roman  letters.  These  translations  with  the 
pictograph  originals,  were  then  subjected  to  revisal,  by  another  body  of 
learned  Mexicans,  educated  in  the  Spanish  language.  After  thirty  years  of 
almost  incredible  labor,  he  submitted  his  work  to  the  brethren  of  his  order, 
but  the  bigotry  which  had  destroyed  almost  every  vestige  of  Aztec  literature, 
now  opposed  the  terrible  barrier  of  the  churchmen's  disapprobation.  The 
superior  of  his  order  seized  his  manuscripts,  separated  them,  and  sent  the 
fragments  to  the  several  convents  in  Mexico.  It  was  several  years  before 
Sahagun  could  procure  an  order  for  their  restoration.  His  history,  when  he 
was  eighty  years  of  age,  was  still  written  only  in  the  Mexican  tongue,  and 
he  now  commenced  the  labor  of  translation  into  Spanish.  The  manuscript 
in  two  great  folios,  with  the  two  versions  of  Mexican  and  Spanish,  in  paral- 
lel columns,  was  sent  to  Madrid,  where  it  slept  unheard  of  for  more  than 
two  hundred  years.  First  brought  to  light  by  Munoz,  Avho  discovered  it  in 
a  convent  of  Tolosa,  in  Navarre,  it  was  first  published  in  Mexico  in  these 
three  volumes,  by  Bustamente,  and  the  next  year  by  Lord  Kingsborough  in 
his  sixth  volume.  Some  of  the  work,  as  it  left  the  hands  of  Sahagun,  has 
been  lost,  and  among  other  parts  which  met  this  fate,  are  the  hieroglyphic 
paintings  which  accompanied  the  text,  and  eighteen  Aztec  hymns.  Sahagun 
died  in  Mexico  in  1590,  nearly  ninety  years  of  age.  The  second  work  of 
Sahagun  was  published  for  the  first  time  in  1829,  as  a  fourth  volume  of  the 
Historia  General.  It  was  printed  separately  in  Mexico,  1840.  The  MS.  of 
a  third  work  was  found  in  Mexico,  by  Beltrami.  It  is  entitled,  Evangelia- 
riuni,  Epistolarium  et  Lectionarum  Aztecum.  It  is  declared  to  be  a  transla- 
tion of  the  Gospels  and  Epistles,  into  Nathuatl.  It  was  edited  by  Bion- 
delli  who  added  a  vocabulary  in  Latin  and  Nathuatl.

The  mystery  which  surrounded  the  authorship,  history,  and  origin  of  this 
very  rare  volume,  has  been  slowly  dispelled  by  successive  fragments  of  infor- 
mation. So  few  copies  have  survived  the  holocaust  to  which  it  was  devoted, 
that  its  very  existence  was  unknown  to  the  most  zealous  collectors  of  In- 
dian and  Vermont  history.  Published  anonymously,  without  preface,  it 
was  known  to  but  few  that  the  autiior  was  the  Kev.  Daniel  Clark  Sanders, 
President  of  the  University  of  Vermont.  Immediately  after  its  appearance, 
some  person,  evidently  a  personal  enemy  of  the  author,  published  an  acri- 
monious critique  upon  the  book,  in  the  Liberal  and  Philosophical  Repository. 
The  animus  of  the  critic  was  evidenced,  not  only  by  the  bitterness  of  his 
language,  but  by  his  ignorance  of  the  subject  of  Indian  wars,  being  more 
proibund  than  that  of  the  author  of  the  book  he  scored.  Such  was  the 
effect  of  the  article  upon  either  Mr.  Sanders,  or  the  publishers,  that  the  work 
was  suppressed.  But  very  few  copies  could  have  escaped  the  hands  that 
were  now  as  zealous  to  destroy,  as  they  had  lately  been  to  create.  In  fact, 
so  nearly  complete  was  the  destruction  of  the  book,  that  it  was  forgotten  by 
those  wlio  professed  to  know  most  of  its  author,  his  biographers.  Neither 
Thompson,  Williams,  or  Hemmenway,  who  published  memoii-s  of  him,  men- 
tion his  authorship  of  the  Indian  wars.

celebrated  than  the  Indian  apostle,  John  Eliot,  was  not  less  saintly  in  his 
character,  possessed  equal  accomplishments  and  learning,  and  performed  far 
more  labor  as  a  missionary  and  a  philologist  For  more  than  sixty  years, 
commencing  in  1 744  and  terminating  in  1 808,  Zeisberger  lived  among  the 
Delaware,  Shawnese,  and  Iroquois  Indians,  or  was  associated  with  their  in- 
terest. He  resided  for  three  years  at  Onondaga,  the  site  of  the  council-fire 
of  the  Six  Nations,  nearly  half  a  century  before  the  arrival  of  the  first  white 
settlers.  He  was  often  employed  on  long  and  dangerous  journeys,  as  an 
ambassador  to  distant  tribes,  and  in  every  capacity  in  which  a  vigorous,  in- 
telligent, and  humane  man  could  be  engaged,  he  exhausted  his  powers  of 
endurance,  to  be  useful.  He  was  reverenced  by  the  fiercest  and  most  vin- 
dictive of  the  Pagan  tribes,  not  only  with  the  religious  awe  of  an  apostle, 
but  almost  with  that  due  to  a  celestial  being.  He  found  savage  nations  at 
war  with  each  other,  and  with  the  civilized  hordes  which  were  closing  aronnd 
them,  and  he  soothed  their  angry  warriors  with  the  words  of  peace  and 
divine  love.  He  saw  his  converts  living  in  Christian  communities,  slaugh- 
tered in  a  horrible  massacre,  which  that  of  St.  Bartholomew  excelled  only  in 
its  magnitude.  He  translated  the  sacred  writings  into  the  languages  of  the 
Indian  tribes,  among  whom  he  labored,  and  painfully  elaborated  their  harsh 
and  difficult  tongues  into  a  grammatical  system.  Born  in  Moravia,  1721, 
he  emigrated  to  America  in  1739,  and  died  at  New  Philadelphia  in  1808. 
During  the  greater  part  of  his  sixty  years  of  residence  among  the  aborigines, 
Zeisberger  and  his  fellow  missionaries,  wrote  voluminous  journals  of  the 
incidents  of  their  every -day  life,  and  complete  reports  of  everything  asso- 
ciated with  the  Indians  which  fell  under  their  observation.  These  mann- 
Bcripts  amounting  to  many  thousand  pages,  as  the  author  assures  us,  are 
still  preserved,  and  have  formed  the  basis  of  his  work.  Zeisberger's  printed 
works  may  be  found  under  the  following  titles  :  —

newly  published,  with  corrections  of  the  names  of  the  cities,  countries,  and

A  French  translation  of  Schmidel's  narrative,  printed  by  Ternaux-Compans, 
as  number  five  of  his  collection  of  Voyages,  Relations,  et  Memoires. 

This  first  Latin  edition,  translated  from  the  German  of  1567,  is  much  the 
most  desirable,  as  it  contains  many  corrections  of  errors,  and  is  unabridged. 

Ulrich  Schmidel,  the  author  of  this  narrative,  was  a  common  soldier  who  ac- 
companied Mendoce  and  Cabe9a  de  Vaca  in  their  conquest  of  the  countries 
south  of  Brazil.  His  history  bears  internal  evidence  of  veracity,  which  is 
further  attested  by  contemporaneous  accounts.  Its  pages  are  one  continuous 
record  of  massacre  and  enslavement  of  the  Indians.  Of  the  fifty-five  chap- 
ters, eleven  are  descriptive  of  these  battles  or  rather  slaughters.  Two  we 
rejoice  to  read,  because  they  narrate  some  considerable  retributive  killing  of 
the  Spaniards  by  the  Indians.  Thirteen  chapters  are  filled  with  descriptions 
of  the  various  tribes  and  nations  he  encountered.  Temaux  published  this 
work  translated  into  French  in  his  collection  of  voyages,  with  many  correc- 
tions of  names.  Not  the  least  of  its  interest  to  us  is  contained  in  his  ac- 
count of  the  character,  adventures,  and  imprisonment  of  Cabe9a  de  Vaca.

as  incidents,  illustrative  of  the  character  of  the  aboriginal  tribes  which  passed 
under  his  own  observation.  All  of  the  last  four  chapters,  pp.  337  to  459,

The  term  Algic  was  invented  by  Mr.  Schoolcraft,  to  indicate  the  Algonquin 
race.  He  composed  it  from  the  first  and  final  syllables  of  Alleghany  and 
Atlantic.  He  distinguishes  the  intruding  tribes,  into  the  vast  territory  cov- 
ered by  the  nations  of  this  race,  as  Ostic,  which  includes  the  Iroquois  and 
Wyandots.  He  asserts  the  authenticity  of  these  legends,  by  declaring  that 
they  were  written  down  from  the  lips  of  the  Indian  raconteurs,  during  an 
intimate  association  with  various  tribes  for  seventeen  years.  There  has 
not  a  little  corroborative  evidence  in  their  favor,  accumulated  in  the  inter- 
vening forty  years  since  their  recording,  by  finding  them  rehearsed  essen- 
tially identical,  by  other  tribes  to  other  recorders.

This  is  a  much  more  pretentious  but  less  valuable  work  than  his  official  re- 
port on  the  same  subject.  It  was  intended  to  be  a  popular  reproduction  of 
the  material  embodied  therein,  but  the  substitution  of  a  narrative  history, 
based  upon  and  composed  of  hypothesis,  for  substantial  facts,  even  in  the 
unattractive  form  of  an  official  document,  does  not  compensate  for  the  lack 
of  the  solid  structure  of  history.

This  is  the  most  valuable  of  Mr.  Schoolcraft's  works,  having  been  executed 
after  personal  examination  in  an  official  capacity  of  all  the  tribes  inhabiting 
New  York.  There  is  an  almost  entire  absence  of  the  speculative  and  senti-

This  volume  is  a  reproduction  of  Algic  Researches,  printed  in  1839,  with  some 
additions.  Mr.  Schoolcraft  was  not  the  only  claimant  for  the  honor  of 
bringing  to  Mr.  Longfellow's  notice  the  Indian  legends,  from  which  the  poet 
derived  the  foundation  of  his  beautiful  poem.  !Mr.  Clark  traces  its  origin  to 
the  Onondagas,  the  central  tribe  of  the  Iroquois.  The  legend  by  which  the 
Indians  accounted  for  the  possession  of  that  king  of  cereals,  the  Maize,  was 
one  of  the  most  wide-spread  and  universal  of  all  aboriginal  myths.  It  would 
not  be  as  difficult  as  many  other  propositions  regarding  the  Indians,  to  trace 
it  through  almost  every  tribal  organization  in  North  America.

Two  editions  of  this  work  were  published  by  the  same  house.  One  on  thinner 
and  somewhat  smaller  paper,  of  which,  however,  only  five  volumes  were 
printed,  and  the  edition  is  therefore  incomplete.  Schoolcraft's  work  was  in- 
tended to  be  a  great  encyclopedia  of  infoi-mation  relating  to  the  American 
Aborigines.  With  great  earnestness,  some  fitness  for  research,  and  a  good 
degree  of  experience  of  Indian  life,  Mr.  Schoolcraft  had  but  little  learning 
and  no  scientific  training.  In  consequence,  his  six  volumes  are  little  more 
than  a  magazine,  of  such  matter  relating  to  the  Indians  as  fell  to  his  hand, 
including  a  rehash  of  all  which  he  had  before  written  and  printed  in  numer- 
ous other  forms.  Badly  an-anged,  and  selected  as  it  is,  the  work  contains  a 
vast  mass  of  really  valuable  material.  It  has  indeed  perfoiined  a  very  im- 
portant service  for  Indian  history,  in  collecting  and  preserving  an  immense 
amount  of  historic  data.  Vocabulan'es  of  Indian  languages,  grammatical 
analyses,  legends  of  various  tribes,  biographies  of  chiefs  and  warriors,  naiTa- 
tives  of  captivities,  histories  of  Indian  wars,  emigrations,  and  theories  of 
their  origin,  are  all  related  and  blended  in  an  extraordinary  and  perplexing 
manner.  A  very  large  number  of  beautiful  steel  engravings,  representa- 
tive of  some  phase  of  Indian  life  and  customs,  are  contained  in  the  work, 
but  the  most  valuable  of  its  illustrations  are  the  drawings  of  weapons, 
domestic  utensils,  instruments  of  gaming  and  amusement,  sorcery  and  medi- 
cine, objects  of  worship,  their  sculptures,  paintings,  and  fortifications,  picto- 
graph  writing,  dwellings,  and  every  form  of  antiquities,  which  have  been 
discovered.  The  six  volumes  contain  336  full-page  plates,  representing 
thousands  of  the  scenes  and  objects  named.

This  well  written  narrative,  purporting  to  be  only  the  biography  of  a  captive 
among  the  Senecas,  is  really  the  best  resume  we  have  of  incidents  in  the

for  by  such  veracious  testimony  as  that  of  Eli  Parker,  an  educated  chief  of

Seminole  War. 

Message  from  the  President  of  the  United  States,  transmitting, 
in  pursuance  of  a  resolution  of  the  House  of  Representatives, 
such  further  information,  in  relation  to  our  affairs  with  Spain, 
as,  in  his  opinion,  is  not  inconsistent  with  the  public  interest  to 
divulge.     December  28,  1818.     8°  pp.  215.    Washington  :  1819. 

1384 

Under  the  forbidding  title  of  a  President's  Message,  is  concealed  an  important 
mass  of  material,  illustrating  the  origin  of  a  war  of  the  United  States 
with  a  tribe  of  Indians,  which  lasted  over  a  quarter  of  a  century.  The 
minutes  of  the  trial  of  Arbuthnot  and  Ambrister  are  here  furnished,  and 
the  feeble  character  of  the  evidence  by  which  they  were  convicted  and  exe- 
cuted, only  renders  the  horrible  crime  of  murdering  these  men  appear  still 
more  atrocious.  Arbuthnot  was  a  warm  friend  of  the  Seminoles,  who  as  his 
intelligence  discerned,  were  soon  to  be  swept  away  by  the  encroachments 
and  jealousy  of  the  planters.  He  was  guilty,  at  most,  of  endeavoring  to 
save  his  Indian  friends  from  extermination,  and  while  in  a  foreign  territory 
advising  them  what  measures  to  pursue  for  their  safety.

This  volume  narrates  the  adventures  of  several  English  settlers  on  the  Pam- 
pas, of  the  Argentine  Republic,  who  suffered  many  hardships  and  losses, 
from  the  incursions  of  the  equestrian  savages  of  the  plains.  The  narrative 
affords  us  many  particulars  of  some  of  the  least  known  tribes  of  South 
America,  whose  barbarities  in  their  depredations  are  narrated  in  a  manner 
so  vivid  and  circumstantial,  as  to  insure  the  interest  of  every  reader.

be  overestimated.  The  relations  are  preceded  by  a  biography  of  Father 
Marquette,  and  a  notice  of  the  Sieur  Joliet.  The  narratives  of  Fathers 
Membre,  Douay,  and  Hennepin  are  also  preceded  by  a  bibliographical  notice 
of  Father  Le  Clercq's  works,  in  pp.  78  to  82  ;  and  another  similar  account  of 
Father  Hennepin's  works  may  be  found  on  pp.  99  to  106.  The  last  named 
author  is  treated  by  the  editor  with  marked  disesteem,  but  I  believe  his  later 
convictions  tend  more  favorably  to  the  integrity  of  Hennepin,  in  what  he 
actually  wrote.  Numerous  editions  of  that  author's  works  seem  to  have 
been  printed  without  his  connivance,  and  the  unscrupulous  publishers  en- 
larged and  abridged  them  at  will.  They  made  poor  Hennepin  the  pack- 
horse  to  bear  anything  they  wished  to  say,  however  foreign  to  his  designs, 
and  he  is  thus  held  responsible  for  much  perhaps  which  he  would  have  dis- 
claimed. 
All  the  relations,  narratives,  and  notes  in  this  volume  are  filled  with  the  most 
interesting  details  of  the  Indians,  at  a  period  when  many  of  them  for  the 
first  time,  beheld  the  white  foreigners  in  the  persons  of  the  missionaries  and 
explorers.

The  Onondagas  were  the  central  tribe  of  the  Six  Nations,  and  in  some  re- 
spects the  most  important,  as  the  records  of  the  confederation  were  kept  by 
them,  and  all  its  great  assemblies  were  gathered  around  the  council-fire,  kept 
ever  burning  at  Onondaga.  They  early  attracted  the  attention  of  the  Jesuit 
missionaries,  and  more  than  one  of  those  who  are  known  to  have  suffered 
martyrdom,  doubtless  perished  in  their  beautiful  valley.  The  original  MS. 
of  this  work  is  still  preserved  in  the  Mazarin  library  at  Paris,  and  is  sup- 
posed to  date  from  the  close  of  the  seventeenth  century.  It  is  undoubtedly 
the  work  of  one  of  the  Jesuit  fathers,  whose  missions  commenced  at  Onon- 
daga in  1 6.55,  Fathers  Le  Moyne  and  Chaumonot  having  arrived  there  on 
the  5th  of  November.

Indian  Bihliography.  SSJ 

We  owe  to  the  zeal  of  the  editor  of  this  volume  many  valuable  contributions 
to  the  history  of  America,  but  had  he  produced  nothing  more  than  the  one 
whose  title  is  given,  he  would  be  entitled  to  something  more  than  ordinary 
gratitude.  There  is  a  chivalry  not  less  noble  than  that  exhibited  in  feats  of 
arais,  in  rescuing  from  oblivion  or  unmerited  reproach,  the  name  of  an  un- 
honored  hero.  In  these  documents  Mr.  Shea  produces  the  evidence,  that 
M.  Beaujeu  was  not  a  mere  subordinate  in  the  celebrated  battle,  which  re- 
sulted in  the  defeat  of  General  Braddock,  and  that  he  was  actually  comman- 
der-in-chief. Also,  that  instead  of  fortuitously  blundering  upon  the  plan  of 
defense,  Beaujeu  had  carefully  considered  it  and  skillfully  adapted  liis  means 
and  forces  to  the  exigencies  of  the  contest,  and  with  not  more  than  five  or 
six  hundred  Indians  met  the  assault  of  2,000  English  soldiers.  The  docu- 
ments are  preceded  by  a  biographical  sketch  of  M.  Beaujeu,  which  Mr. 
Shea  terminates  with  an  "  Avant-Propos,"  that  has  this  paragraph. 

"  Canada  and  France  have  forgotten  Beaujeu.  He  has  performed  his  duty  as 
a  soldier  and  a  Christian,  leaving  to  his  country  the  care  of  his  reputation. 
But  another  reaps  the  glory  of  the  expedition  in  which  he  perished,  and  in 
the  city  of  Pittsburgh,  where  repose  his  ashes,  we  seek  in  vain  for  a  monu- 
ment to  his  memory."   The  memoir  is  accompanied  by  a  jwrtrait  of  Beaujeu.

These  relations  of  travels  and  voyages,  are  printed  either  from  unedited  MSS. 
or  from  such  obscure  sources,  as  to  be  accessible  here  for  the  first  time.  The 
journal  of  John  Cavalier,  La  Salle's  brother,  and  the  letters  of  Montigni, 
were  first  printed  from  the  manuscript  by  Mr.  Shea.  But  the  letter  of  La 
Salle  was  derived  from  a  source  which  none  would  suspect  of  concealing  a 
historic  gem,  —  Tomasy's  geology  of  Louisiana.  These  narratives  of  the 
first  explorers  of  the  valley  of  the  Mississippi,  are  almost  wholly  composed 
of  accounts  of  the  Indian  tribes  they  encountered.  They  are  filled  with  the 
most  interesting  details  of  the  peculiarities  of  these  savages  before  civiliza- 
tion had  corrupted,  as  it  has  since  destroyed  them.  The  edition  was  limited 
to  one  hundred  copies.

Mr.  Simms'  book  is  one  of  that  limited  class  of  historical  works,  for  which 
the  reader  will  feel  from  youth  to  age,  that  he  owes  a  debt  of  gratitude  to 
its  garrulous  and  perhaps  not  over-scrupulous  author.  It  is  the  very  model 
of  a  local  history.  Crowded  with  details  of  the  adventures  of  the  early 
settlers  of  the  Mohawk  Valley,  in  their  conflicts  with  their  savage  neighbors, 
we  do  not  stop  to  question  their  authenticity.  The  midnight  massacres,  the 
long  and  weary  captivities,  the  surprises  of  Indian  camps,  the  bloody  encoun- 
ters between  the  scouts  and  their  savage  foes,  are  all  narrated  with  a  credu- 
lous faith,  and  an  artless  style  that  wins  and  preserves  the  reader's  attention.

The  murderous  hate  between  the  scouts  of  the  Revolution  and  their  Indian 
foes,  survived  the  war,  and  furnishes  the  principal  incidents  which  fill  this 
book.  It  narrates  how  the  superior  craft,  and  vengeful  pursuit  of  the  white 
hunters,  thinned  the  woods  of  the  Mohawk  counties,  of  the  remnants  of  the 
Indian  tribes  which  once  thronged  them.  Pages  208  to  252  are  tilled  with 
the  account  of  the  murder  of  an  Indian  scout,  by  a  hunter  named  Foster, 
and  the  minutes  of  his  trial,  for  a  crime  of  which  all  the  evidence  of  angels 
and  archangels  would  not  have  convicted  him,  with  a  jury  of  border  settlers.

The  history  of  this  wonderful  expedition  affords  us  many  relations  of  the 
character,  condition,  and  customs  of  the  Indians  inhabiting  the  territories, 
drained  by  the  northern  tributaries  of  the  Amazon,  three  centuries  ago. 
The  murderous  wretch  Aguirre,  who  by  his  sanguinary  massacres  became 
the  leader  of  the  force,  was  equally  cruel  in  his  thirst  for  the  blood  of  the 
Indians  and  of  his  own  countrymen.  The  progress  of  this  bloody  monster, 
through  the  lands  of  the  fabled  El  Dorado,  well  illustrates  the  character  of 
a  thousand  expeditions  of  the  cruel  Spaniard  among  the  Aborigines,  which 
have  been  unwritten  because  the  victims  were  only  Indians.     The  Introduc'

awful  scenes  of  blood  and  massacre ;  through  which  it  passed,  cannot  be  ex- 
celled by  any  paraphrase  or  synopsis  of  its  details.  Mr.  Markham's  Inti-o- 
duction  also  contains  a  valuable  examination  of  the  authorities  which  cor- 
roborate the  history  of  Father  Simon.  Only  the  first  seven  of  Father 
Simon's  historical  notices  were  ever  printed.  Fourteen  more  exist  in  manu- 
script.

In  Mrs.  Simon's  first  work,  entitled  The  Hope  of  Israel,  the  authoress  based 
her  arguments  almost  wholly  upon  biblical  and  presumptive  evidence.  She 
brings  evidence  in  this  volume  of  extensive  and  scholarly  research,  to  estab- 
lish her  hypothesis.  Her  semblances  to  Hebrew  observances,  are  found 
almost  entirely  in  the  Aztec  and  Toltecan  races,  as  portrayed  in  Lord 
Kingsbury'.s  Antiquities  of  Mexico.  She  fortifies  her  position,  from  the  his- 
tories and  opinions  of  Las  Casas,  Boturini,  Gomara,  Gumilla,  Sahagun, 
and  Peter  Martyr.  It  is  a  curious  mass  of  learning,  directed  toward  the 
demonstration  of  an  unsolvable  problem.

phases  of  aboriginal  life  and  hi:-tory.  Fifty-six  of  the  engravings  are  por-

This  vocabulary,  as  well  as  No.  8,  the  Grammar  of  the  Mutsun  language, 
■were  the  work  of  the  missionaries.  There  is  an  apparent  hiatus  between  the 
Roman  and  Arabic  pagination,  but  in  the  notation  the  omitted  pages  were 
intended  to  be  supplied  by  blank  leaves.  Fathers  Sitjar  and  Pierras  were 
the  first  to  attempt  the  conversion  of  this  tribe  which  occupied  a  mountain- 
ous range,  twenty-five  leagues  southwest  of  Monterey,  in  California.  Al- 
though it  was  once  so  numerous  that  more  than  twenty  dialects  were  spoken 
by  its  branches,  it  was  reduced  to  less  than  fifty  individuals  in  1860.  The 
MSS.  consist  of  four  hundred  and  forty-two  pages,  and  together  with  the 
Grammar,  were  obtained  by  Mr.  A.  S.  Taylor,  who  deposited  them  in  the 
Smithsonian  Institute.  Father  Sitjar  was  bora  in  Majorca,  1739,  founded 
the  mission  of  San  Antonio  in  1771,  in  which  place  he  died  in  1808.  Father 
Pierras  was  also  a  native  of  Majorca,  and  died  in  1795.  The  Grammar  oc-

This  unpretending  little  work  is  the  expression  of  the  personal  experience 
of  a  candid  and  thoughtful  man,  on  the  structure  of  the  Indian  languages. 
He  suggests,  what  has  long  been  thought,  the  insuperable  difficulty  in  the 
way  of  making  our  orthographic  system,  fairly  interpret  the  involved  and 
aggregated  forms  of  the  sentence-words  of  aboriginal  tongues.  The  struc- 
ture of  every  dialect  of  the  Algonquin  and  Huron  tongues,  compiising 
every  northern  tribe,  is  monosyllabic,  so  that  upon  the  radical  syllable,  the 
sentence  is  built  up,  by  successive  additions,  of  other  syllables,  until  the 
idea  is  complete.  These  elemental  syllables  do  not  in  most  alx>riginal  dia- 
lects, exceed  one  hundred,  and  scarcely  a  single  one  of  these  can  be  perfectly 
represented  by  our  system  of  orthographical  analysis.

These  volumes  are  the  literary  relaxation  of  one  of  those  devoted  mission- 
aries to  the  Indians,  of  whom  the  Catholic  Church  has  been  so  prolific. 
Although  modestly  concealing  his  own  share  in  the  divine  labor  of  evangeliz- 
ing the  savage  hordes  beyond  the  Rocky  Mountains,  these  books  are  monu- 
ments to  his  services,  as  well  as  of  those  he  records  performed  by  others. 
Father  Smet  is  a  modern  example  of  those  hero  martyrs  of  the  Jesuit

to  Canada.

As  I  reach  this  title  in  describing  the  works  of  this  collection,  the  journals  of 
the  day  announce  that  an  unknoAvn  person  was  yesterday  found  in  the 
streets  of  New  York  in  an  insensible  condition ;  was  taken  by  the  police  to 
a  cell  in  the  nearest  station-house ;  was  transferred  to  the  hospital  in  a  dying 
condition,  and  in  a  few  honrs,  without  a  word  or  sign,  the  active,  intelligent, 
and  learned  mind  of  the  stranger,  had  ceased  to  animate  his  mortal  part. 
The  corpse  was  soon  after  death  recognized  as  the  editor  of  this  work.  The 
scholarly  curiosity  of  this  learned  man,  was  absolutely  insatiable;  and  his 
research  stretched  over  an  area  of  documentary  evidence  and  historical 
data,  which  is  scarcely  less  than  appalling  to  contemplate.  The  vast  store- 
houses of  manuscripts  by  the  early  writers  of  the  history  of  America,  which 
Spain  has  so  jealously  guarded,  were,  page  by  page,  assiduously  examined 
by  him,  for  new  revelations  regarding  the  country,  whose  half-told  story 
constantly  fired  his  brain  with  the  desire  to  complete.  This  homage  of  an 
humble  admirer  of  his  patience,  zeal,  and  learning,  I  could  not  resist  the  de- 
sire to  leave  on  record  here.  Mr.  Buckingham  8mith  was  the  translator 
and  annotator  of  many  works  on  American  history.  In  18.51,  Mr.  Riggs 
printed  at  Washington  his  translation  of  the  narrative  of  Cabeca  de  Vaca. 

This  relation  of  the  missions,  Indians,  and  Natural  History  of  the  Province 
of  Sonora,  was  written  by  an  unknown  hand.  The  writer  was  a  Jesuit 
Missionary,  resident  in  that  country  eleven  years,  when  by  order  or  request 
of  the  authorities,  the  MS.  was  written  in  1762.  It  is  for  the  first  time 
printed  here,  having  been  several  times  copied,  and  from  one  of  the  trans- 
cripts, made  for  the  purpose  of  aiding  Munoz  in  writing  his  history  of  the 
New  World,  this  printed  work  is  now  produced.  He  resided  at  a  place  on 
the  River  Yaqni,  where  that  stream  flows  through  a  canon  so  deep,  as  to 
shut  out  three  quarters  of  the  heavens  from  sight.  The  first  sixty-nine 
pages  are  occupied  with  a  natural  history  of  the  country.  At  page  69  com- 
mences Chapter  V.,  entitled,  "  Of  The  Nations  which  people  this  Province,  in 
general ;  Their  language,  and  of  their  disposition,  genius  and  character. 
2.  Of  the  antiquity,  idolatries,  and  conjurors  of  the  Indians.  3.  Of  their 
absui"d  religious  belief  and  superstitions.  4.  Of  their  customs  and  ceremo- 
nies," etc.,  etc.,  to  Section  6.  Chapter  VI.,  entitled  "  Of  the  Nations  which 
inhabit  this  Province  in  particular,"  is  divided  into  four  sections,  treating  of 
the  peculiarities  of  the  Apaches,  the  Pimas,  and  the  Papagos,  tribes  still  in- 
habiting the  provinces  of  Sonora,  Arizona,  and  New  Mexico.  Chapter  VII. 
is  entitled,  "  The  Missions  of  the  Society  of  Jesus  among  the  Indians  of  So- 
nora." Chapter  VIII.,  "  The  Churches  of  the  Missions."  The  subjects 
above  noted  relating  to  the  Indians,  occupy  pp.  69  to  173.  It  is  not  without 
interest,  that  we  read  that  the  savages  were  spoken  of  at  that  day  as  the 
cruel  Apaches.

Mr.  Smith  asserts  that  these  documents  are  in  the  Apalachian  tongue,  as 
spoken  and  written  by  the  Indians,  and  with  the  Timuquana  marking.  They 
denote  an  advancement  made  by  the  Timuquana  Indians,  under  the  Francis- 
can missionaries,  in  the  seventeenth  century  in  religion  and  civilization, 
superior,  or  at  least  equal  to  the  farthest  progress  reached  by  the  Aborigines 
anywhere  in  America.  MS.  letter  of  Mr.  Buckingham  Smith:  "  The  docu- 
ments are  fac-similes  of  the  handwriting  of  the  Indians  of  Florida."

The  author  of  this  grammar,  whose  name  is  entirely  unknown,  was  a  Jesuit 
missionary  among  the  Pimas,  an  Indian  nation  inhabiting  New  Mexico,  and 
-  Sonora.  The  manuscript,  discovei-ed  by  Mr.  Smith  at  Toledo  in  Spain,  was 
probably  carried  thither  in  1767,  on  the  suppression  of  the  order  in  Mexico. 
The  work  has  three  titles.  In  the  French  title,  in  addition  to  the  description 
given  in  the  English  one,  we  find  the  words  "  With  the  Christian  Doctrine 
and  Confession  "  added.  The  Grammar  occupies  pp.  10  to  97.  The  third 
title  in  Spanish,  Christian  Doctrine  and  Confession,  in  the  language  Nevome  or

the  greater  part  of  the  value  of  copies  of  Smith's  general  history,  consists 
in  the  perfection  and  identity  of  the  maps.  The  first  edition  is  the  highest 
prized  when  it  possesses  the  maps  properly  belonging  to  it.  In  the  subse- 
quent editions,  the  maps  underwent  such  alterations  as  distinguish  each  of 
them  from  the  others.  It  is  so  commonly  the  case,  as  almost  to  form  the 
rule,  that  even  the  best  copies  of  Smith's  book  have  been  made  up  by  the 
substitution  of  later  editions  of  some  of  the  maps.  This  uncertainty  ex- 
tends even  to  the  portraits.  That  of  the  Duchesse  of  Richmond,  is  gener- 
ally supposed  to  have  been  reengraved,  and  collectors  have  been  somewhat 
puzzled  to  ascertain  if  their  copies  were  originals.  I  have  copies  both  of  the 
original  impression,  and  the  so  called  replica,  and  ara  able  to  establish  a 
criterion  for  testing  the  question.  Only  one  plate  of  the  portrait  has  been 
engraved,  and  that  one  is  now  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  Dexter  of  New  York. 
The  distinction  between  the  original  impressions  and  the  subsequent  ones, 
consists  in  the  cross  hatchings  which  were  made  after  the  impressions  were 
taken  for  Smith's  history.  In  the  first  all  the  drapery  is  shaded  by  horizon- 
tal lines,  the  tapestry  in  the  back  ground  alone  being  shaded  by  perpendicu- 
lar lines,  drawn  at  right  angles  to  the  others.  In  the  second  the  cross  hatch- 
ing lines  are  diagonal  to  the  others,  producing  a  coarser  and  darker  appear- 
ance. This  is  particularly  observable  ia  the  cushion,  above  which  the  right 
hand  rests.

This  is  the  original  edition  of  Colonel  Smith's  narrative,  and  one  of  the  rarest 
works  of  western  history.  Indeed,  in  the  quality  of  rarity,  it  is  only  ex- 
ceeded by  Loudon's  Narrative  of  Indian  Wars.  Colonel  Smith  was  himself 
the  type  of  the  chivalric,  brave,  and  generous  frontiersman,  of  which  class 
Daniel  Boone  and  Simon  Kenton  were  famous  examples.  He  possessed 
the  advantage  of  an  intellect,  cultivated  in  the  rude  border  schools,  it  is 
true,  yet  not  ill  cultivated  in  such  places  as  heroes  were  not  seldom  bred.

The  Narrative  of  Colonel" Smith's  Captivity  had  already  become  scarce,  when 
the  patriotic  veteran,  on  the  breaking  out  of  the  war  with  Great  Britain, 
fully  comprehending  the  danger  of  underrating  the  savage  foe,  whom  that 
government  would  make  its  allies,  issued  this  treatise  of  military  instruction. 
The  work  has  become  even  rarer  than  the  first  one.

greatly  enriched  by  the  notes  of  Mr.  l^arlington,  a  gentleman  whose  knowl-

For  nearly  a  century  this  book  was  attributed  to  Thomas  Hntchings,  whose 
name  is  found  upon  the  map  of  Colonel  Bouquet's  route.  Mr.  Spoftbrd,  the 
librarian  of  Congress,  first  called  attention  to  a  letter  written  by  the  inde- 
fatigable Rev.  William  Smith  of  Philadelphia,  in  which  he  announces  him- 
self as  the  author.  The  rarity  of  the  book  is  not  the  only  quality  for  which 
it  should  be  sought,  nor  the  fact  that  it  was  embellished  by  engravings  after 
drawings  from  the  pencil  of  the  eminent  painter  Benjamin  West. 

The  treatise  narrates  the  details  of  the  first  victory,  gained  over  Indian  forces 
by  English  troops,  after  the  savages  had  been  taught  the  use  of  fire-arms. 
Nearly  twenty  years  elapsed  before  the  whites  gained  another,  during  which 
period  they  suffered  such  dreadful  defeats  in  thirteen  battles  at  the  hands  of 
the  Indians,  that  the  blood  thickens  with  horror  at  their  narration.  Colonel 
Bouquet  by  his  judicious  arrangements  first  laid  down  the  plan,  in  following 
which  General  Wayne  secured  the  same  result.

The  author  affords  us  in  this  work  almost  the  onl}^  authentic  nan-ative  of 
personal  intercourse,  with  a  nation  of  savages,  which  had  defied  the  Span- 
iards for  three  hundred  years,  and  defeated  them  in  more  battles  than  all 
the  other  aboriginal  warriors  of  America.  Everything  relating  to  their 
characteristics,  manners,  and  customs,  receives  his  attention.

The  author  professed  to  have  derived  his  narratives  of  scouts,  border  warriors,

children.  Relating,  as  he  does,  the  adventui-es  of  Tories,  Whigs,  and  fron-

sketches  of  Indian  fighters  and  their  rencontres  with  the  savages.

All  the  arguments  in  favor  of  the  author's  hypothesis,  are  derived  from  the 
ancient  sagas,  Indian  traditions,  and  inscriptions  on  the  rocks.  They  are 
most  clearly  cited,  and  logically  enforced,  but  the  colloquial  style  adopted 
by  him  gives  his  work  a  puerile  character,  which  the  learning  and  ability 
of  the  author  and  his  work  do  not  deserve.

The  pastor  of  a  church  at  Poultney,  Vt.,  struck  with  those  points  of  resem- 
blance between  the  Jews  and  Indians,  which  have  startled  so  many  before 
him,  adduces  several  hundreds  of  curious  incidents  from  Adair,  Hunter, 
Bartram,  and  many  other  writers,  principally  on  the  habits  of  the  Northern 
Indians.  He  insists  most  strenuously  upon  the  similarity  of  certain  Hebrew 
words  to  synonymous  terms  in  Indian  languages.

This  book,  which  contains  some  interesting  particulars  of  the  Indian  allies 
of  Great  Britain,  has  a  curious  bibliographical  history.  After  making  his 
escape  from  Canada,  the  author  sold  the  right  to  print  a  certain  number  of 
copies  of  the  MS.  work  he  had  brought  away  with  him,  in  each  of  the  large 
cities  through  which  he  passed  ;  his  compensation  being  a  fixed  proportion 
of  the  number  of  copies.  Editions  were  therefore  printed  at  Hartford,  of 
13,000  copies,  in  New  York  of  3,000.  Another  large  edition  was  printed  in 
Trenton,  another  in  Philadelphia,  and  one  in  Baltimore  of  2,500,  with  the 
addition  of  an  appendix,  and  nearly  1,800  names  of  subscribers,  residents 
of  Maryland  and  Virginia.  The  edition  printed  at  Lexington  alone  con- 
tains the  personal  narrative.  Of  the  various  editions,  not  less  than  25,000 
copies  have  been  printed,  and  the  book  is  now  scarce.

the  early  missionaries  ;  [e<c.,  5  lines']  compiled  from  authentic

The  first  three  chapters  are  full  of  interesting  particulars  of  the  sufi\;rings  of 
the  early  settlers  from  the  Indians,  most  of  them  written  by  the  good  bishop, 
from  the  lips  of  the  survivors.  The  remarkable  narrative  of  the  captivitj 
of  John  Lancaster  is  here  printed  for  the  first  time.

The  history  of  the  forced  emigration  of  a  sovereign  people  is  given  in  these 
speeches.  The  most  remarkable  of  them  all  is  that  of  David  Crockett ;  for 
the  highest  qualities  of  oratory,  clear,  logical  deductions,  enforced  with  great 
eloquence,  impelled  by  honest  convictions.  Aware  that  probably  not  a  single 
individual,  within  a  hundred  miles  of  the  frontier  of  which  he  was  a  repre- 
sentative, but  would  be  outraged  by  his  opinions,  he  fearlessly  avowed  him- 
self the  champion  of  the  rights  of  the  Indian.  On  a  later  invasion  of  them 
by  the  government,  another  noble  frontiersman,  General  Samuel  Houston, 
took  the  same  intrepid  course.

Of  the  ten  plates,  seven  are  portraits  of  Indian  chiefs.  The  story  of  the  won-

1822,  and  less  than  one  thousand  in  1845,  with  the  disciplined  forces  of  the 
United  States,  for  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century,  is  here  told  with  all  its 
minutest  relations.  It  is  a  sad  story  of  heroism,  gallantry,  and  patriotism 
on  the  side  of  the  Aborigines,  and  of  treachery,  unscrupulous  covetousness, 
and  barefaced  lying  on  the  part  of  the  government  and  its  officials  ;  includ- 
ing the  President,  the  Senate,  and  the  generals  in  command.  The  great 
republic  was  only  victor  at  last,  by  inveigling  the  Indian  chiefs,  under  the 
most  sacred  promises  of  safe  conduct,  into  imprisonment  and  chains ;  and 
after  losing  one  hundred  soldiers  for  every  Indian  taken  or  slain,  forty-five 
millions  of  treasure  were  expended  in  reducing  these  seven  hundred  patriots.

Scenes  and  Studies  of  Savage  Life.  By  Gilbert  Malcolm 
Sproat.  12°  jop.  xii. -|-317.  1  Plate.  London:  Smith.  Elder,  ^ 
Co.,  1868.  1477 

This  little  volume  contains  the  records  of  seven  years'  experience  of  the  pecu- 
liarities of  life  on  the  extremest  frontier  of  Western  America,  and  is  devoted 
entirely  to  that  phase  of  it  which  the  savages  of  Vancouver  presented.  This 
vast  island  has  hitherto  been  a  terra  incognita,  at  least  so  far  as  the  striking 
characteristics  of  its  savage  inhabitants  are  concerned.  Mr.  Sproat  exer- 
cised the  functions  of  a  local  magistrate  at  the  settlements  among  them,  and 
studied  their  peculiarities  with  great  curiosity  and  diligence.  Speaking  their 
diiBcult  and  almost  unpronounceable  language  with  facility,  he  was  able  to 
obtain  so  many  particulars  of  their  life  and  customs,  as  to  add  largely  to  our 
sources  of  knowledge  of  aboriginal  manners.  A  vocabulary  of  the  Aht  lan- 
guage, spoken  universally  by  the  twenty  tribes  inhabiting  Vancouver,  occu- 
pies fourteen  pages,  in  double  columns,  and  affords  us  the  meaning  of  nearly 
one  thousand  Aht  words.

Mr.  Squier's  explorations  form  a  fitting  sequel  to  those  of  Mr.  Stephens, 
extending  as  thej*  did  over  an  adjacent  territory,  equally  rich  in  the  relics  of 
the  ingenious  and  civilized  race  of  aborigines  which  once  peopled  it.  Almost 
every  article  of  their  manufacture,  which  was  not  readily  perishable,  is  repre- 
sented in  the  excellent  engravings.  Their  idols,  temples,  columns.i  sculp- 
tures, utensils,  and  architecture  are  most  copiously  illustrated,  and  clearly 
described.  A  division  of  the  second  volume,  entitled  "  Aborigines  of  Nica- 
ragua," pp.  303  to  362,  treats  of  the  Indians  now  resident  in  that  portion  of

there  are  some  illustrations  of  the  character  of  the  aborigines  which  afford

This  is  the  first  volume  of  an  intended  series,  which  has  so  far  been  followed

This  work  forms  the  third  of  Temaux-Compans'  series  of  Voyages  et  Relations. 

Honest  Hans  Staden's  book  is  the  most  valuable  and  interesting  of  all  the 
relations  of  his  time,  as  he  narrates  with  great  minuteness  the  incidents  of 
his  long  captivity  among  the  Carios  Indians.  The  whole  work  is  devoted 
to  descriptions  of  his  intercourse  and  battles  with  the  natives  ;  but  Chapters 
xviii.  to  li.,  pp.  85  to  214,  are  entirely  occupied  with  the  narrative  of  his 
captivity,  his  sufferings,  and  final  escape.  At  page  265,  a  division  of  the 
work  entitled,  "  True  and  Precise  Relation  of  the  Manners  and  Customs  of 
the  Twppinanbas,  among  whom  I  was  prisoner,"  occupies  the  remainder  of 
the  book.  Hans  Staden's  Relation  was  first  printed  in  Germany,  at  Mar- 
bourg,  in  1557,  in  small  4°.  De  Bry  translated  it  into  Latin,  and  inserted  it 
in  his  Grand  Voyages.  Levy  made  use  of  it  in  his  work,  Voi/age  to  Bresil. 
He  confirms  Staden's  account  of  the  savages,  and  vouches  for  the  correctness 
of  his  statements  from  his  own  experience.

horrors  of  the  infernal  regions  are  anticipated,  it  must  be  Surinam.  The 
moment  that  civilized  man  sets  his  foot  upon  the  soil  he  becomes  a  fiend, 
and  the  atrocities  which  he  perpetrates  upon  his  kind  would  shame  his 
brother  devils.  Stedman's  work  is  a  record  of  such  horrors,  that  few  will 
brave  the  appalling  category  of  bloodshed  and  murders,  to  reach  the  chap- 
ter or  two  descriptive  of  the  Indians  of  Guiana.  The  intercourse  of  Sted- 
man with  the  aborigines  was  very  limited,  yet  he  gives  some  new  and  inter- 
esting particulars  regarding  them.

ruins  of  still  more  imposing  structures,  erected  by  the  vanished  race  of  penin-

This  extraordinary  collection  of  material,  representing  the  labor  of  aboriginal 
man  in  Europe  and  America,  is  the  result  of  the  munificence  and  taste  of 
Mr.  William  Blackmore,  who  not  only  provided  the  very  large  sum  needed 
for  the  establishment  of  the  institution,  but  has  made  several  voyages  to 
America  to  complete  its  series.  Much  the  largest  portion  of  the  volume  is 
devoted  to  the  description  of  the  utensils,  weapons,  and  ornaments  manu- 
factured by  the  American  Indians.  Their  habitations,  mounds,  fortifications, 
and  antiquities  are  described  at  great  length,  and  with  much  evident  research. 
The  text  is  accompanied  by  a  large  number  of  wood-cuts,  illustrative  of  the 
various  objects  forming  the  collection.

This  book  must  have  been  a  very  popular  one,  as  it  is  announced  as  having 
been  printed  at  several  places,  under  various  titles,  and  by  almost  as  many 
authors.  It  is  usually  found  entitled,  Indian  Wars,  by  H.  Trumbull.  The 
edition  now  under  our  notice,  is  the  first  of  a  score  of  forms  under  which 
this  really  worthless  book  appeared.  It  subsequently  issued  from  the  press 
in  almost  every  town  in  New  England  which  possessed  one.  All  of  these 
editions,  however,  claimed  for  their  author,  Henrv  Trumbull,  of  whom  as 
little  is  known  as  of  James  Steward.  The  historic  value  of  the  work  mav 
be  ascertained  from  thetestimony  of  Peter  Force,  under  the  title  "  Trumbull.

Three  editions  of  this  work  are  believed  by  some  bibliographers  to  have  been 
printed  ;  but  as  the  London  edition  of  1753  perfectly  corresponds  with  the 
Williamsburg  edition  of  the  same  date,  it  may  be  true  that  both  of  them 
were  printed  either  in  London  or  in  Williamsburg.  They  differ  solely  in 
the  substitution  of  the  title-page.  Two  uniform  peculiarities  of  the  edition  of 
1747  may  l)e  noticed  :  the  discoloration  of  signature  x,  and  the  error  in  num- 
bering the  first  page  of  that  signature  295,  instead  of  305.  In  consequence 
of  this  error  there  are  pp.  295  to  304  in  duplicate.  The  style  of  the  writer  is 
rigid  and  harsh  to  a  degree  which  renders  his  work  almost  unreadable ; 
but  the  history,  which  is  more  strictly  the  Annals  of  the  Colony,  is  faithfully 
compiled.  In  his  narration  of  the  aboriginal  history,  he  has  added  little  new 
material,  nor  has  he  brought  out  what  we  already  knew,  in  any  stronger 
light,  yet  we  are  indebted  to  him  for  having  printed  some  documents  not 
easily  accessible.

ished  at  his  death,  and  was  completed  in  its  present  form  by  his  son.  The 
life  of  the  celebrated  royal  superintendent  of  Indian  affairs,  for  a  period  of 
forty  years,  beginning  in  1738,  is  full  of  material  for  Indian  history.  Ey 
far  the  most  valuable  contributions  to  it  are  contained  in  the  Appendix,  in 
which  are  printed  for  the  first  time,  and  from  the  original  MSS.,  two  Jour-

The  author,  of  whom  almost  nothing  is  certainly  known,  was  evidently  a 
person  of  some  importance  in  Virginia  during  the  period  of  which  he  writes, — 
from  16L0  to  1612.  Book  I.,  pp.  23  to  133,  is  almost  wholly  occupied  with 
a  description  of  the  Indians  of  Virginia,  their  customs  and  peculiarities.  It 
was  written  probably  some  years  before  Captain  John  Smith's  General  His- 
tory of  Virginia,  and  is  more  especially  remarkable  as  having  afforded  Mr. 
Deane  and  Mr.  Niel  the  data  to  charge  the  name  of  Pocahontas  with  infamy. 

The  following  passage  will  scarcely  be  considered  sufficient  evidence  to  con- 
vict the  Indian  maiden  :  "  Their  younger  women  goe  not  shadowed  amongst 
their  owne  companie,  until  they  be  nigh  eleaven,  or  tuelve  retumes  of  the  leafe 
old,  nor  are  they  very  much  ashamed  thereof,  and  therefore  would  the  before 
remembered  Pochahontas,  a  well  featured,  but  wanton  yong  girle,  Powha- 
tuns  daughter,  sometymes  resorting  to  our  port,  of  the  age  then  of  eleven  or 
twelve  yearcs,  get  the  boys  forth  with  her  into  the  markett  place,  and  make 
them  wheele  falling  on  their  hands  turning  up  their  heeles  upwards,  whome 
she  would  followe  and  wheele  so  her  self,  naked  as  she  was,  all  the  fort  over, 
but  being  once  twelve  yeares,  they  put  on  a  kind  of  seme-cinctum  lethern 
apron  before  their  bellies,  and  are  very  shame/act  to  be  scene  bare."  On  the 
modern  interpretation  of  the  word  wanton,  rests  almost  all  the  weight 
of  the  arguments  against  Pochahontas'  chastity.  A  word  used  two  centuries 
ago,  like  "  wench,"  "  quean,"  and  many  other  terms,  since  degraded  by  use 
to  reproach,  is  here  in  the  sense  of  saucy,  hoydenish,  reckless,  and  other 
kindred  terms  indicating  boldness  and  want  of  propriety.  Like  other  native 
girls  she  was  incapable  of  viewing  her  nudity  with  shame,  because  heryouth 
forbid  the  association  of  sexual  indulgence,  or  even  desire,  with  it.

some  collusion  between  some  of  the  chiefs  and  the  agents  of  Mass.,  whose

small  number  of  the  tribe  were  made  to  appear  to  be  the  majority.  The  in- 
evitable, imvarying  result  followed,  and  the  Indians  were  cheated  and

History  of  Western  Virginia,  particularly  of  the  battle  of  Point 
Pleasant,  by  Col.  John  Stuart  of  Greenbriar,  Va.,  an  officer  of

Chas.  A.  Stuart,  son  of  the  narrator.     Richmond,  1833.         1525 

This  very  interesting  narrative  contains  an  account  of  the  battle  of  Point 
Pleasant,  one  of  the  few  contests  between  the  Indians  and  the  frontiersmen 
of  Pcnn.  and  Va.,  in  which  the  whites  were  successful.  The  narrator  was 
also  present  at  the  massacre  of  Cornstalk  and  his  son  by  the  dastardly 
border  whites,  while  the  chiefs  -were  voluntary  hostages  for  the  execution  of 
a  treaty.  This  Memoir  of  Indian  wars  has  been  printed  only  in  the  Vir- 
ginia Historical  Collection,  of  the  first  and  only  volume  of  which  it  forms 
pp.  35  to  68.

The  author's  sojourn  in  the  territory  of  three  years,  commencing  in  1853,  af- 
forded few  incidents  not  connected  with  the  Indians,  then  in  undisturbed  pos- 
session of  almost  the  whole  country.  Everything  relating  to  their  mode  of 
life,  habits,  ceremonies,  and  condition,  receives  minute  record  from  this  in- 
telligent observer.  Twelve  of  the  engravings  also  illustrate  these  features 
of  the  aborigines  of  the  territory.  Pages  412  to  422  contain  "  A  Vocabulary

The  very  rare  tract  of  which  this  is  a  reprint,  entitled,  "Lovewell  Lamented ;

favorite  object  of  competition  among  book  collectors.  Only  one  perfect  copy, 
and  that  of  the  second  edition,  has  been  sold  at  public  auction  for  many 
years,  and  this  one  has  been  three  times  offered  in  that  manner.  At  the  last 
public  bidding  it  was  bought  for  $175.  The  second  edition  appearing  with 
the  same  date  is  entitled,  "Historical  Memoirs  of  the  Late  Fight  at  Pigg-

A  rare  and  very  important  historical  work.  It  contains  the  lives  and  martyr- 
doms of  the  Jesuit  missionaries,  in  the  four  parts  of  the  globe.  Part  IV.  is  de- 
voted entirely  to  America,  comprising  pages  563  to  738,  and  contains  biog- 
raphies (some  of  them  very  full)  of  fifty-eight  missionaries,  all  of  whom 
were  put  to  death  by  the  Indians.  These  terrible  deaths  are  represented  by 
thirty-nine  copper-plates  in  the  text,  representing  a  sickening  variety  of  tor- 
tures, each  more  frightful  than  the  last,  almost  equaling  in  refinement  of  cru- 
elty that  of  the  Spanish  (Christian)  savages  who  first  explored  and  devastated 
the  New  World.  Nine  perished  in  Florida,  several  in  Peru,  Brazil,  Paraguay, 
Mexico,  and  California.  But  perhaps  the  most  interesting  part  of  the  vol- 
ume to  us,  is  included  in  pp.  647  to  694,  wherein  is  narrated  the  martyrdom 
of  the  French  Jesuits  among  the  Hurons,  the  Iroquois,  and  other  nations  of 
New  France  (part  of  which  is  now  the  State  of  New  York).  This  part 
of  the  work  comprises  the  biographies  of  Fathers  Jogues,  Daniel,  Brebeuf, 
Lallemant,  Garnier,  Chabanel,  Beudin,  Basil,  and  Vhuteux.  The  life  of 
Father  Jogues  alone  fills  twenty-seven  pages  He  is  represented  as  being  tor- 
tured by  the  Iroquois  on  the  18th  of  July,  1643,  first  by  three  Indians  pull- 
ing out  the  nails  of  his  fingers  and  toes  with  pincers.  It  was  however  not  at 
this  infliction  of  torments  that  Father  Jogues  received  his  martyrdom,  as  Mr. 
Stevens  seems  to  suppose.  The  deformed  and  mutilated  missionary  so  far 
recovered  as  to  be  rescued  by  minister  Megapolensis,  of  Albany;  returned  to 
France,  and  unable  to  resist  the  demands  of  his  conscience,  to  preach  the 
gospel  to  the  Indians,  returned  to  the  country  of  the  Iroquois,  and  by  them 
was  slain  at  Caunawagha  in  1647,  four  years  subsequently  to  his  torture. 
Tanner  was  also  the  author  of  a  work  on  the  same  subject  entitled,  Confes- 
sores,  etc.,  which  contains  the  life  of  Father  White,  the  first  priest  in  Mary- 
land. Much  of  the  work  whose  title  is  given,  is  taken  from  that  of  Alegambe, 
entitled  Afortes  lllustres  Soc.  Jesu.  Roma.  Folio,  by  Alegambe  and  Nadase. 
The  German  edition  of  Tanner  is  translated  from  the  Latin,  but  contains 
forty  pages  of  additional  matter.

As  will  be  seen  by  the  announcement  on  the  title-page,  of  the  period  which 
these  annals  of  Ohio  is  intended  to  cover,  it  is  devoted  almost  entirely  to  its 
aboriginal  history.  The  early  Jesuit  Missions,  the  wars  of  the  Eries  and 
the  Iroquois,  the  border  warfare  which  was  waging  for  nearly  a  quarter  of  a 
century,  between  the  Scotch-Irish  inhabitants  of  Peimsylvania  and  the  Del- 
awares,  Shawanese,  and  Wyandots,  are  the  subjects  which  nearly  fill  the  vol- 
ume. The  Appendix  contains  other  and  more  minute  particulars  of  the  vari- 
ous Indian  tribes  which  once  inhabited  the  State,  and  of  the  white  borderers 
and  Indian  chiefs  who  were  noted  in  their  warfare  with  each  other.  The  work 
is  a  very  judicious  and  interesting  collection  of  material  already  printed  in  one 
form  or  another,  not  always  accessible  to  the  student,  even  in  great  libraries.

This  noble  collection  has  rendered  accessible,  in  a  familiar  language,  many  of 
the  rarest  and  most  valuable  narratives  of  contests  and  adventure  among 
the  Indians  of  America.  Some  were  indeed  to  be  found  alone  in  manuscript* 
jealously  guarded,  and  all  were,  beside  rarity,  almost  as  obscure  by  reason  of 
their  Gothic  print,  equalJS-  antique  Spanish,  or  barbarous  Latin,  as  the  picto- 
graphs  of  the  Aztecs,  or  the  quipus  of  the  Peruvians  whose  stories  they  re- 
counted. Their  value  can  best  be  estimated  by  the  titles  of  the  several  vol- 
umes.

of  the  original  relations  of  the  conquerors  themselves;  but  some  are  more 
particularly  descriptive  of  the  characteristics  of  the  various  tribes  of  the 
conquered  people.  The  third  Relation  is  entitled,  "  Of  the  order  of  succes-

Recueil  de  Pieces  sur  La  Floride.  Inedit.  [  With  the  general

This  twentieth  volume  of  Ternaux'  collection  of  voyages,  relations,  and  me- 
moirs, entitled,  Collection  of  Pieces  on  the  History  of  Florida  never  bifore  printed, 
contains  some  very  valuable  material  for  the  student  of  aboriginal  history. 
The  first  narrative  is  that  of  Hernando  d'  Escalente  Fontanedo,  written  about 
1527,  entitled  "Memoir  on  Florida,  its  Coasts  and  its  Inhabitants."  It  is 
followed  by  a  "  Letter  written  by  De  Soto,"  Biedma's  "  Relation  of  what 
happened  during  the  Expedition  of  Ferd.  de  Soto,"  and  Betete's  "  Relation 
of  Florida."  In  all  these  pieces,  the  first  attention  of  the  narrators  is  given 
to  the  peculiarities  of  the  Indian  natives,  and  meagre  as  we  feel  them  to  be, 
for  the  purpose  of  satisfying  our  curiosity,  they  are  with  those  of  Cabeca  de 
Vaca,  and  the  Gentleman  of  Elvas,  the  sole  means  we  have  of  gratifying  it, 
even  in  part.  The  Relation  of  Biedma  adds  some  curious  details,  to  those 
we  already  possessed,  relating  to  the  fatal  expedition  of  De  Soto.  Among 
others  he  narrates  :  "  One  day  the  Indians  killed  more  than  twenty  of  our 
men,  and  wounded  more  than  two  hundred,  which  last  received  six  hundred 
and  sixty  flesh  wounds.  During  the  night  we  dressed  their  wounds  with 
grease  (obtained  by  roasting)  the  Indians  we  had  killed.  Wc  had  no  other 
medicament,  everything  in  our  possession  had  been  burned  during  the  bat- 
tle." The  remaining  papers  do  not  possess  less  interest.  Mendoza's  report 
of  the  expedition  and  massacre  by  the  bloody  Menendez ;  the  history  of  the 
last  voyage  by  Jean  Ribaut  to  Florida ;  and  last  the  glorious  expedition  of 
Gourges,  the  hero  who  had  the  skill  and  good  fortune  to  unite  all  the  Indian 
tribes  of  the  coast  of  Florida,  with  his  little  band  of  Frenchmen,  to  punish 
with  swift  destruction  the  Spanish  monsters  who  had  participated  in  the 
massacre.  This  document  is  here  printed  for  the  first  time,  from  the  MS.  in 
the  Bibliotheque  Royale.

Thevet's  Singularites  de  la  France  Antarctique,  was  first  printed  in  Fi-ench

the  wicked  craft  practiced  upon  them  by  Governor  Thomas  Penn,  and  other 
proprietors  in  1737.  Certain  chiefs  having  been  called  together  by  the  spec- 
ulators, two  persons  were  found  to  testify  that  they  were  present  at  a  coun- 
cil fifty  years  before,  at  which  as  much  land  was  ceded  to  William  Peun,  as 
a  man  could  walk  around  in  a  day  and  a  half.  There  was  a  chief  living 
who  could  have  proved  this  testimony  false,  but  he  was  carefully  kept  in 
ignorance  of  the  council,  and  by  mean  fraud,  endless  perjury,  and  tempting 
but  specious  gifts,  the  surreptitious  deed  was  ratified.  To  locate  as  large  a 
territory  as  possible,  a  trained  pedestrian  was  employed,  who  was  met  at 
appointed  stations  by  refreshments,  and  thus  was  enabled  to  traverse  a  route 
which  cut  off  a  million  acres  from  the  Indian  territory.  Less  than  one  third 
that  quantity  of  land  was  the  amount  which  the  Indians  had  been  led  to  ex- 
pect would  be  ceded.  Endless  conferences,  and  numerous  councils,  were  fol- 
lowed by  bloody  massacres,  that  devastated  the  border  settlements  of  Penn- 
sylvania and  Virginia,  for  twenty  years.  Mr.  Thomson's  work  fully  analyzes 
the  cause  of  the  alienation,  which  the  heroic  Quaker,  Christian  Post,  haz- 
arded his  life  to  overcome.

[First  (second)  (third)  Part,  of  the  twenty-one  books  of  ceremonies,  and  the 
Indian  monarchy,  with  the  orif^in  and  wars  of  the  West  Indies,  of  their 
peoples,  discovery,  conquest,  conversion  and  other  miirvelous  matters  of  the 
same  land,  distributed  in  three  volumes.  Composed  by  Fray  Juan  de  Tor- 
quemada,  provincial  minister  of  the  order  of  our  Seraphic  Father,  Saint 
Francisco,  in  the  Province  of  the  Holy  Evangel  of  Mexico  in  New  Spain. 
With  permission.  In  Madrid  in  the  (printing)  office  and  at  the  cost  of 
Nicolas  Rodriguez  Franco.     The  year  1723.] 

Juan  de  Torquemada,  whom  Alainan  calls  in  his  Dissertnclones,  the  "Livy  of 
New  Spain,"  studied  in  Mexico,  where  he  took  the  habit  of  St.  Francis,  and 
became  the  Provincial  of  the  order  for  that  country.  He  wrote  his  Indian 
Monarchy,  after  having  collected  everything  which  he  could  find  that  related 
to  the  history  of  the  country,  and  the  customs,  manners,  laws,  &c.,  of  its  ab- 
origiiuil  inhabitant.-;.  This  work  forms  a  collection,  indispensable  to  all  who 
desire  to  know  nmch  of  the  ancient  history  of  Mexico,  and  its  inhabitants, 
as  well  as  to  all  those  writers  who  expect  to  borrow  their  material  fi'om  the 
stores  of  others. 

The  edition  of  1723  is  the  most  complete,  having  been  edited  by  the  indefat- 
igable Barcia,  and  is  preferred  by  scholars  to  the  first  edition,  printed  in 
three  volumes  at  Madrid  in  1613  :  Ternaux  says,  "  Although  I  find  no  other 
notice  of  the  author  than  what  is  conveyed  on  the  title,  that  he  was  a  Fran- 
ciscan monk,  this  work  is,  nevertheless,  the  most  complete  we  possess  on  the

ancient  history  of  Mexico."  A  great  part  of  the  first  vohimc  is  devoted 
to  the  history  of  the  country,  before  its  discovery,  and  the  whole  of  the 
second,  to  the  religion  and  the  laws,  manners,  and  customs  of  the  Mexicans, 
and  a  compai-ison  of  these  peculiarities,  with  those  of  the  ancient  nations  of 
Europe. 

Ternaux  could  hardly  have  consulted  Clavigero,  who  says,  that  "  Torquemada 
knew  the  Mexican  language  well,  conversed  with  the  Mexicans  in  their  own 
tongue,  for  upwards  of  fifty  years,  and  labored  at  his  history  for  more  than 
twenty.  In  spite,  however,  of  his  diligence  and  advantages,  he  frequently 
betrays  want  of  memory,  critical  skill,  and  good  taste ;  many  gross  contra- 
dictions also  appear,  particularly  in  chronology,  several  childish  details  ;  and 
a  great  deal  of  superfluous  learning.  Nevertheless  there  are  many  things 
of  curiosity  and  value  in  it."  This  is  a  very  harsh  judgment,  which  one 
may  hope  '"as,  even  in  the  learned  Clavigero,  inspired  somewhat  by  jealousy. 
Clavigero  asserts  that  Torquemada  received  some  assistance  from  The  His- 
torical Memoirs  of  the  Kingdom  of  Acolhtiacan  written  by  the  Indian,  Antonio 
Pinientol  Ixtlilxochitl,  a  grandson  of  the  last  Indian  king  of  that  country. 
Diego  Mugnoz  Camargo,  a  noble  half-blood  native  of  Tlascala,  wrote  a  his- 
tory of  the  city  and  republic  of  Tlascala,  which  Torquemada  found  of 
much  use,  as  he  did  The  Historical  Memoirs  of  the  Kingdom  of  Cholula,  by 
Juan  Batista  Pomar,  a  descendant  of  the  Royal  House  of  Tezcuco.  The 
MSS.  of  these  valuable  works  by  native  historians,  Torquemada  found  de- 
posited in  the  libraries  of  the  colleges  in  Mexico. 

Rich  says,  "  Some  curious  chapters  of  the  original  MSS.  were  omitted  by  order 
of  the  Inquisition,  of  which  one  was  entitled,  'How  the  Devil  wished  to 
imitate  the  Almighty,  by  choosing  a  favorite  people.'  It  is  probable  that  it 
oSended,  by  comparing  the  migration  of  the  Toltecs  to  that  of  the  Israel- 
ites."

This  work,  under  all  its  Protean  forms,  bears  evidence  that  it  was  written  for 
a  comparatively  unlettered  public :  as,  according  to  the  testimony  of  Col.

stated  to  Mr.  Henry  C.  Murphy  that  he  believed  there  was  scarcely  a  date 
correctly  given  in  the  whole  book,  having  discovered  twenty-two  chrono- 
logical errors  on  a  single  page.  Many  editions,  with  varying  titles,  were 
published  for  the  purpose  of  being  hawked  through  the  country.  The  first 
purports  to  have  been  printed  at  Brooklyn,  L.  I.,  in  which  edition  the

A  biographical  memoir  of  Roger  Williams,  of  60  pp.,  precedes  this  new 
edition  of  his  work  upon  the  language  of  the  Narragansct  Indians. 
Following  the  memoir,  Mr.  Trumbull's  preface  occupies  pp.  1  to  16.  The 
Key  fills  pp.  18  to  220,  in  the  lower  margins  of  which  the  editor  has  placed 
three  hundred  and  eighty-six  explanatory  notes.  Many  of  these  are  of  great 
length  ;  and  all  are  characterized  by  the  learning  and  ability,  which  are  the 
fruit  of  his  long  study  of  the  Indian  languages  of  America.  Nothing  is 
settled  by  hypothesis,  and  little  left  to  conjecture,  while  incidentally  many 
characteristics  of  aboriginal  life  are  woven  into  his  analyses. 

Trumbull  (J.  Hammond). 

On  some  mistaken  notions  of  Algonkin  grammar,  and  on  mis- 
translations of  words  from  J^liot's  Bible,  &c.  By  J.  Hammond 
Trumbull.  (From  the  Transactions  of  the  American  Philo- 
logical Association,  1869-70.)     8°   pp.  1  to  19.     1871.       1572 

Among  other  heresies  which  Mr.  Trumbull  exterminates  is  that  bewildering 
one  of  which  Mr.  Duponceau  was  the  apostle,  that  the  (Mass.)  Natick  lan- 
guage could  be  demonstrated  from  Elliot's  Bible,  to  possess  an  infinitive 
mood.  As  this  would  unsettle  the  belief,  authorized  by  the  best  scholars,  in 
the  incapability  of  the  expression  of  abstract  action  or  being,  and  almost  of 
abstract  substantives,  by  most,  if  not  all,  Indian  languages,  it  is  a  good  ser- 
vice to  philologv  to  sweep  it  away.  Another  error  in  the  opposite  direction, 
originated  by  Mr.  Edwards  and  sustained  by  Mr.  Bancroft,  General  Cass,  and 
others,  that  verbs  had  no  expression  unless  associated  with  both  actor  and 
subject,  is  completely  refuted.  Some  amusing  stories  regarding  the  whimsi- 
cal modes  of  expression  Eliot  is  said  to  have  adopted,  which  liave  obtained 
so  much  authenticity  as  constant  repetition  and  universal  belief  can  give, 
are  shown  by  translations  of  the  paragraphs  in  question  to  be  untrue.

On  the  best  method  of  studying  the  American  languages.  By

Phil.  Association,  1869:-70.)     8°  pp.  1  to  25.     1871.  1574 

Mr.  Trumbull  writes  upon  a  subject  which  he  more  fully  comprehends,  and 
can  better  illustrate,  than  any  other  scholar^ — perhaps  in  the  world.  The 
pollysyllabic,  or  synthetic  structure  of  the  words,  of  all  Indian  languages,  is 
most  clearly  exhibited  and  demonstrated  in  this  essay.  Their  agglutinative 
formation  has  struck  every  student  upon  the  most  superficial  examination, 
but  it  remained  for  Mr.  Trumbull  to  suggest  that  the  readiest  and  most 
scientific  mode  of  learning  them  was  to  reverse  the  order  of  composition. 
"  The  aim  of  the  student  should  be,  the  resolution  of  synthesis  by  analysis."

Beside  the  interesting  personal  narration  of  intercourse  with  the  Indians  of 
Mexico,  this  work  treats,  in  a  pleasant,  unscientific  manner,  of  the  ancient 
historj'  of  the  Mexicans.  Such  of  the  antiquities  as  fell  in  his  way  he 
describes,  and  of  some  he  gives  illustrative  engraving^.

[Secret  Notices  of  America,  upon  the  naval,  military,  and  political  condition  of 
the  kinjfdom  of  Peru,  the  provinces  of  Quito,  New  Granada,  and  Chfli. 
The  expense  of  their  government,  and  particularly  of  the  manajrement  and 
care  of  the  Indian  Tribes.  The  cruel  oppression  and  extortions  of  the 
officials  and  curates  of  the  Indians;  and  the  scandalous  abuses  introduced 
among  the  inhabitants,  by  the  Missionaries.  Examination  of  their  origin, 
and  cause  of  their  continuation  for  thi'ce  centuries.  Written  faithfully  from 
the  information  of  his  Excellency  the  Marquis  de  la  Ensenada,  first  Secretary 
of  State,  and  presented  as  secret  reports,  to  his  Majesty  the  King,  Ferdinand 
VI.] 

This  work  is  an  expose  of  the  secrets  of  the  Spanish  Colonial  Government, 
and  is  divided  into  two  parts :  Parte  II.  On  the  government,  administra- 
tion of  justice,  and  state  of  the  clergy,  among  the  Indians  of  the  interior: 
with  descriptions  of  their  customs.  Chapters  i.  to  ix.,  pp.  229  to  614. 
"  The  benevolent  and  virtuous  Las  Casas  has  been  accused  of  exaggeration 
and  falsehood  in  his  account  of  the  cruelties  of  the  Spaniards  to  the  Indians, 
exercised  upon  them  soon  after  the  discovery  of  their  country,  up  to  the 
middle  of  the  sixteenth  century.  But  although  his  accounts  were  denied  and 
declared  to  be  calumnious,  we  find  the  Indians  of  Peru  treated  with  the 
same  cruelty  two  hundred  years  afterward."  —  Rich. 

The  learned  author  has  brought  abundant  testimony  to  prove  that  the 
oppression  and  tyranny  described  by  Las  Casas  as  exercised  upon  the 
Aborigines  was  scarcely  less  atrocious  during  the  closing  years  of  the  Span- 
ish dominion.  "  These  secret  memoirs  are  written  with  that  truth,  impar- 
tiality, and  good  judgment  which  distinguished  the  informants,  — the  broth- 
ers Ulloa."  —  Sah'i. 

The  book  was  printed  in  London,  because  its  publication  in  Spain  would  have 
been  prohibited.    It  had  remained  in  MS.  for  more  than  fifty  years.

The  scope  of  the  author's  investigations  is  well  expressed  in  a  paragraph

the  commerce,  and  in  one  word,  the  usages  and  customs,  are  the  indices  by 
which  we  mark  the  state  of  civilization."  These  characteristics  of  the  Chib- 
chas  and  Armas,  Indian  nations  inhabiting  New  Grenada,  form  the  entire 
material  of  his  work.  The  plates  are  representations  of  their  idols,  weapons, 
utensils,  and  craniology.

Lyste,  1  p.     Total,  120  pp.,  with  folding  map  of  Nova  Belgica. 

A  large  part  of  this  very  rare  work  is  devoted  to  a  description  of  the  natives 
of  the  New  Netherlands.  Van  der  Donck  arrived  in  New  Amsterdam  in 
1642.  He  served  as  the  sheriiF  of  the  colony  of  Rensselaerwyck,  and  pur- 
chased an  estate  on  the  Hudson,  near  the  site  of  the  village  of  Yonkers. 
Before  this  work  was  published,  he  had  printed  An  Exposition  of  the  New 
Netherlands  (Hage,  1650,)  in  which  the  administrations  of  Kieft  and 
Stuyvesant  were  vigorously  assailed.  A  division  of  the  work  before  us, 
found  on  page  52,  is  entitled,  "  Of  the  Manners  and  peculiar  Custom  of  the 
Natives  of  the  New- Netherlands."  This  is  subdivided  into  twenty-two  sec- 
tions, each  treating  of  some  of  the  peculiarities  of  the  savages  of  the  State 
of  New  York.  The  whole  covering  pp.  52  to  81.  The  treatise  possesses  an 
interest  beyond  its  rarity,  in  being  the  relation  of  an  educated  man,  regard- 
ing the  Indians  of  the  island  and  neighborhood  of  New  York.  The  work 
was  translated  by  Gen.  J.  Johnson,  and  printed  in  the  sixth  volume  of  the 
New  York  Historical  Society. 

The  second  edition  of  this  work  is  a  reprint  of  the  first  from  the  Ist  to  the 
I6th  pages.  The  remainder  is  so  exact  a  reproduction,  page  for  page,  of  the 
first  edition,  as  to  favor  the  hypothesis,  that  the  sheets  fi"om  signature  C  to 
to  N  3  were  never  reprinted.  There  would  have  apparently  been  no  differ- 
ence discoverable,  had  the  plate  of  New  Amsterdam  been  retained  in  the 
second  edition.  The  map  and  Condition  properly  belong  only  to  this  edition, 
but  are  wanting  in  several  of  the  copies  known  to  be  in  existence.  A  very 
high  authority  in  bibliography,  Mr.  Henry  Stevens,  is  of  the  opinion  that  a 
copy  of  Van  der  Donck  with  the  date  of  1656,  and  view  of  New  Amsterdam 
on  the  9th  page,  must  be  made  up  of  the  two  editions,  by  prefixing  a  title  of 
the  second  to  the  text  of  the  first.  I  have  lately  found  three  copies,  with 
exactly  the  same  collation,  and  although  this  is  merely  negative  evidence,  the 
correspondence  of  so  many  copies  authorizes  at  least  the  fair  presumption, 
that  three  editions  may  have  been  printed.  We  must  otherwise  suppose,  that 
three  copies  of  an  exceedingly  rare  book  have  been  mutilated  to  form  a 
hybrid  of  two  editions.

Memoir  of  an  Eventful  Expedition  in  Central  America,  result- 
ing in  the  discovery  of  the  idolatrous  city  of  Iximaya,  In  an 
unexplored  region,  and  the  possession  of  two  Remarkable  Aztec 
Children,  Descendants  and  Specimens  of  the  Sacerdotal  Caste 
(now  nearly  extinct)  of  the  Ancient  Aztec  Founders  of  the 
ruined  Temples  of  that  Country,  described  by  John  L.  Stevens 
Esq.,  and  other  Travellers.  Translated  from  the  Spanish  of 
Pedro  Velasquez  of  San  Salvador.  8°  pp.  35.  New  York:

This  purports  to  be  transcripts  of  the  journal  of  Velasquez  describing  the  ad- 
ventures of  the  writer  and  two  young  Americans  in  an  expedition  among  the 
Indians  of  the  Maya  race,  which  resulted  fataljy  to  the  latter  adventurers.  It 
is  the  most  circumstantial  fiction  which  the  brain  of  an  advertising  agent 
ever  conceived.

[Notices  of  California :  of  its  conquest,  temporal  and  spiritual,  from  that

Josed  in  Mexico,  in  the  year  1739,  by  Father  Venegas,  of  the  order  ol 
esuits,  with  other  Sketches  and  Relations,  both  ancient  and  modern.] 

The  history  of  Father  Venegas  was  edited  by  Father  Andre  Buricl,  who  died  in 
the  city  of  Mexico  in  1762.  He  found  the  MS.  of  Father  Venegas'  work  at 
Madrid  in  1749,  it  having  been  finished  ten  years  previously.  The  sources 
from  which  Venegas  derived  his  history  are  a  number  of  relations  composed 
by  the  missionaries  in  California,  and  sent  to  the  Provincial  at  Mexico,  where 
they  are  still  preserved  in  the  libraries  of  two  colleges.  The  work  of  Father 
Venegas  is  undoubtedly  the  most  faithful  narration  we  possess,  regarding  the 
original  condition  of  the  Indians  of  any  part  of  North  America,  connected 
with  the  history  of  their  gradual  progress  towards  civilization  and  Christianity. 

With  the  habitual  contempt  for  accuracy  which  distinguishes  English  editors 
of  the  last  century,  this  translator  of  Venegas  has  constructed  a  title  for  the 
good  Father's  work  to  suit  his  own  whimsical  taste.  It  is,  however,  a  fair 
synopsis  of  the  contents  of  the  work,  though  much  extended,  in  comparison 
with  the  original.

Villagutierre's  relation  of  the  wars,  by  which  the  Spaniards  conquered  the 
Indians  of  Yucatan  and  Guatemala,  has  from  its  extreme  rarity  remained 
almost  unknown.  Like  most  of  the  Spanish  histories  of  affairs  in  America, 
it  is  more  largely  devoted  to  the  spiritual  than  the  military  conquest  of  the 
Indians ;  yet  it  is  a  valuable  repertory  of  facts,  relating  to  the  Savages  of 
the  peninsula. 

Only  this  Primera  Parte  was  ever  printed.

to  22.  The  authorship  of  this  exceedingly  rare  pamphlet,  has  been  attributed 
to  the  personage,  whose  name  is  signed  to  the  poem  addressed  to  the  Reader, 
with  no  authority  I  think  beyond  that  of  conjecture.  The  publishing  Commitr 
tee  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society  thus  ascribed  it,  in  their  note  to  the 
reprint  of  the  Relation,  in  the  Third  Volume  of  their  Collections.  It  is  a  nar- 
rative of  the  battle  with  thePequods,  fought  by  Captains  Mason  and  Under- 
bill, an  account  of  which  was  written  by  the  last  doughty  commander,  and 
printed  in  1638,  under  the  title  of  News  from  America.  Vincent's  Rela- 
tion is  of  even  greater  rarity  than  Underbill's.  This  is  attested  by  the  fact 
that  the  reprint  named  was  made  from  a  mutilated  copy,  the  imperfections 
of  which  were  uncorrected  in  the  reprint:  from  the  impossibility  of  finding 
a  perfect  one  for  compaiison.  The  tract  was  considered  of  sufficient  conse- 
quence to  induce  the  printing  of  another  edition  with  the  title ;    A  2r«e

The  author's  interest  was  particularly  excited  as  a  savant,  by  coming  in  con- 
tact with  an  aboriginal  race  in  America.  Accordingly,  his  work  teems 
with  the  most  interesting  particulars,  which  he  observed  or  learned,  regard- 
ing the  Indians.  He  has  occupied  the  whole  of  Appendix  VI.  pp.  3.52  to 
429,  with  observations  on  the  condition,  numbers,  and  characteristics  of  the 
Indians,  while  No.  VII.,  pp.  429  to  446,  is  devoted  to  an  examination  of  the 
structure  of  the  language  of  the  Miami  tribes,  with  a  copious  vocabulary.

This  description  of  the  antiquities  of  Mitla,  and  of  the  savage  and  uncon- 
quered  tribes  of  Indians  inhabiting  Central  America,  possesses  much  to 
elicit  our  interest.  Yet  he  is  accused  by  the  authors  of  other  works  on  Cen- 
tral America,  with  supplying  by  invention  what  his  investigations  failed  to 
discover.

Voyages  from  Holland  to  America,  A.  D.  1632  to  1644.  By

Henry  C.  Murphy.  4°  pp.  199  and  portrait.  New  York : 
1853.  1615 

This  translation  of  that  portion  of  De  Vries*  Journal  relating  to  America, 
was  performed  at  the  suggestion,  and  printed  at  the  cost,  of  Mr.  James 
Lenox.  Mr.  Murphy  has  also  furnished  us  with  a  biographical  sketch  of 
De  Vries,  in  the  Introduction,  pp.  5  to  14.  Page  15  is  a  translation  of  the  full 
title  of  the  original :  [Short  historical  and  Journal  notes  of  several  Voyages 
made  in  the  four  parts  of  the  World,  namely,  Europe,  Africa,  Asia,  and 
America,  By  D.  David  Pietersz.  de  Vries,  Ordnance-Master  of  the  Most 
Noble  Lords,  the  Committed  Council  of  the  States  of  West  P^-iesland  and  the 
North  Quarter.  Wherein  are  described  what  Battles  he  has  had  by  Water: 
Each  Country,  its  Animals,  Birds,  kind  of  Fishes  and  Savage  Men  —  Coun- 
terfeited to  the  Life,  —  and  the  Woods  and  llivers,  with  their  Products. 
Hoorn.     Anno  1655.J 

In  it  the  infamous  treachery  of  Kieft,  the  unresisted  massacre  of  the  too  con- 
fiding Indians  at  Hoboken,  the  horrible  revenge  taken  by  their  countrymen, 
and  the  consequent  desolation  of  the  Dutch  Colony,  witli  tlie  cowardice  of 
the  miserable  governor,  are  all  candidly  and  lucidly  narrated. 

De  Vries  was  a  witness  of  the  terrible  atrocities  perpetrated  by  the  Dutch  un- 
der Governor  Kieft  upon  the  Indians,  which  caused  them  to  l>ecome  such 
cruel  avengers  of  their  wrongs.  Mr.  Murphy  concludes  his  excellent  pref- 
ace, with  this  enunciation  of  the  value  of  De  Vries'  Journal :  — 

"  His  narratives,  where  he  speaks  from  personal  knowledge,  are  entitled  to  the 
highest  credit,  for  not  only  do  they  bear  internal  evidence  of  truth,  but  they 
are  corroborated  in  many  instances  by  other  evidence,  and  by  the  records 
which  we  have.  His  relation  of  the  disgraceful  and  disastrous  Indian  war, 
in  which  he  was  an  actor  and  friend  of  the  Indians,  is  the  only  authentic 
one  extant,  of  any  completeness,  except  that  of  the  goverament,  and  is 
therefore  of  great  interest  and  value." 

Of  its  rarity,  Mr.  Murphy  says  (in  1853)  :  "  The  book  is  one  of  the  rarest  to

carefully  examined  and  accurately  surveyed.  Undertaken  by

existance  of  any  navigable  communication  between  the  North 
Pacific  and  North  Atlantic  Oceans ;  and  performed  in  the  years 
1790,  1791,  1792,  1793,  1794,  and  1795,  in  the  Discovery  Sloop

Although  Vancouver  lost  the  opportunity  of  recording  himself  as  the  dis- 
coverer of  the  Columbia,  the  merit  of  which  fell  to  the  lot  of  the  American 
Captain  Gray,  he  was  the  first  to  inform  the  public  of  the  peculiarities  of 
some  of  the  Indian  Tribes  inhabiting  the  shores  of  the  North  Pacific,  and 
the  Islands  that  form  the  Aleutian  Archipelago.  But  a  small  portion  of 
these  great  volumes  is,  however,  devoted  to  aboriginal  aflfairs,  and  that  is  only 
the  baldest  narration  of  incidents ;  but  as  they  contain  the  earliest  notices  of 
the  natives  of  the  countries  visited,  and  several  plates  illustrative  of  their 
life  and  appearance,  they  are  placed  in  this  catalogue.

This  Journal  of  a  campaign  against  the  Indians  and  their  British  allies,  al- 
thougli  of  comparatively  late  publication,  is  much  rarer  than  many  of  the 
New  England  imprints  of  a  century  and  a  half  earlier.  It  is  the  only  copy 
I  have  met  with,  either  in  public  or  private  libraries.

Beside  many  incidental  notices  of  personal  intercourse  with  the  Native  Tribes 
of  the  Amazon,  the  author  has  given  a  very  complete  account  of  their  life 
and  customs  in  Chapter  xvii.  pp.  476  to  519,  entitled  "  Oa  the  Aborigines 
of  the  Amazon."  Following  this  is  a. folding  table  of  a  comparative  vocab- 
ulary of  eleven  Indian  languages.  The  Appendix,  pp.  521  to  541,  is  en- 
titled "  Vocabularies  of  the  Amazonian  Languages,'  to  which  subject  the 
author  had  evidently  devoted  not  a  little  attention,  aided  by  very  respectable 
learning.

The  narration  of  this  devoted  missionary  to  the  Indians,  reminds  us  in  its 
details  of  the  most  wonderful  self  sacrifices,  told  with  the  utmost  self  abne- 
gation, and  with  an  utter  unconsciousness  of  their  heroism,  of  the  kindred 
relations  of  the  early  Jesuits  in  America.     Like  them,  he  left  but  the  one

alternative  of  martyrdom  to  success.  Like  them,  the  salvation  of  an  aban- 
doned and  outcast  tribe  was  his  only  aim,  but  unlike  them  he  lived  to  see 
its  realization.  A  pioneer  of  civilization,  hundreds  of  miles  beyond  its  far- 
thest reach,  a  missionary  of  the  gospel  thirty  years  before  the  formation  of 
Christian  churches,  he  saw  populous  cities  rise  where  morasses  and  forest 
only  spread  when  he  first  saw  them.

The  original  edition  printed  at  Williamshurgh,  Va.,  in  the  same  year,  is  so 
rare  that  but  two  copies  are  known  to  exist.  This  with  the  London  imprint, 
is  only  less  rare  than  the  other ;  and  is  suflSciently  curious,  as  being  the  first 
of  Washington's  official  actions  recorded  in  print.  It  is  principally  occupied 
with  a  relation  of  his  councils  with  the  Indians,  west  of  the  AUeghanies.

An  English  officer,  who  subsequently  became  a  lord,  fell,  on  his  arrival  in  this 
country,  into  the  hands  of  that  eminent  tuft-hunter  James  Watson  Webb. 
The  Englishman,  an  ardent  sportsman,  spent  five  years,  from  1832  to  1837, 
in  the  wilds  between  the  Mississippi  and  the  Pacific.  The  journal  of  his  ad- 
ventures among,  and  residence  with  the  Indians,  was,  together  with  his  ver- 
bal narrations,  edited  by  his  American  friend,  and  these  two  volumes  are  the 
product.  Indian  life,  character,  and  legends  form  the  staple  of  their  compo-

This  is  the  ninth,  and  last,  of  the  Reports  of  the  Indian  Charity  School,  estab- 
lished by  Mr.  Wheelock.  It  was  originally  termed  the  Moors  Charity 
School,  commencing  in  1754,  at  Lebanon,  and  in  1771  transferred  to  Han- 
over, where  it  formed  the  germ  of  the  institution,  known  as  Dartmouth  Col- 
lege. Among  the  first  pupils  came  young  Brant,  the  Mohawk  warrior,  who 
afterwards  desolated  the  Wyoming  Valley,  and  sat  beside  the  Mohegan 
Indian,  Samson  Occum,  who  preached  the  gospel  of  peace  to  the  same  bloody 
savages.  The  fruits  of  the  noble  and  disinterested  labors  of  Mr.  Wheelock, 
were  visible  among  the  aborigines  for  many  years  after  the  date  of  this  re- 
port. At  one  time  twenty-five  Indians  were  receiving  instruction  in  his 
school.  Honored  be  the  name  of  Eleazer  Wheelock  during  all  time,  as  one 
of  the  wisest  and  noblest  friends  of  the  red  man.

the  account  given  by  General  Bowles,  the  Creek  or  Cherokee

The  propositions  of  the  learned  author  in  favor  of  the  existence  of  a  tribe  of 
Welsh  Indians,  are  so  well  sustained  by  veritable  evidence,  and  yet  so  posi- 
tively known  to  be  untrue,  that  it  makes  us  doubt  the  value  of  all  ratiocina- 
tion. He  adduces  the  positive  testimony  of  more  than  twenty  persons  who 
had  visited,  or  spoken  with  them  in  that  language.  Of  all  the  conjectures 
regarding  the  origin  of  the  Indians,  not  one  has  been  fortified  by  a  tithe  of 
the  absolute  evidence  of  respectable  authorities  and  witnesses  Mr.  Williams 
obtained,  and  yet  not  a  single  scholar  has  been  convinced.  If  such  a  cordon 
of  impregnable  proofs  can  be  thrown  around  a  totally  improbable  hypoth- 
esis, there  will  be  little  we  cannot  doubt  and  nothing  we  may  not  believe.

he  maintains  the  unworthiness  of  their  accounts  on  the  following  grounds :  —

let-  Cortez  was  an  adventurer,  a  bucanneer,  who  found  his  interest  in  asstun- 
ing  the  role  of  a  zealot,  to  impose  upon  the  Inquisition  and  the  emperor. 
2d.  The  historians  from  Bernal  Diaz  to  Botturino,  including  Sahagan,  Tor- 

?uemada,  and  Ixtlilxochitl,  being  all  monks,  were  all  liars,  for  neither  the 
nquisition  nor  the  court  would  permit  the  unadulterated  truth  to  appear. 

3d.  The  Aztec  civilization  was  a  myth,  in  which  the  Moorish  tinge  of  its  in- 
ventor's intellect  is  clearly  apparent,  the  story  of  the  burning  of  the  historic 
paintings  a  necessary  falsehood  to  account  for  their  absence,  and  those  still 
extant  only  daubs  to  impose  upon  a  credulity,  which  had  greedily  swallowed 
the  clumsy  tale  of  the  miraculous  apron  of  our  lady  of  Guadaloup. 

4th.  The  remains  of  temples,  pyramids,  and  other  structures,  convince  the 
author  that  their  builders  were  Phoenicans  and  not  Aztecs,  the  latter  being 
a  race  of  savages,  and  incapable  of  such  monuments  of  skill  and  industry. 

WiLMER  (Lambert  A.). 

The  life,  travels  and  adventures  of  Ferdinand  de  Soto,  Dis-

engravings.   8°j»;?.  532.    Philadelphia:  J.  T.  Loyd,  \%b%.    1685 

Twelve  full-page  engravings  and  fifty  wood-cuts  inserted  in  the  text,  are  nearly 
all  designed  to  illustrate  battles  with  the  Indians,  or  the  terrible  cruelties  in- 
flicted upon  them. 

This  well  printed  and  beautifully  illustrated  book  is  written  in  a  style  worthy 
of  its  subject.  The  story  of  De  Soto's  life  is  told  with  a  vigor  and  nervous 
energy,  characteristic  of  his  restless  and  ambitious  career.  The  great  cava- 
lier, chivalrous  gentleman,  and  splendid  adventurer,  was  the  only  one  of  the 
type  of  courtly  and  Christian  knights  who  sought  for  gold  and  renown  on 
the  continent  of  North  America.  His  wonderful  story  of  great  resolve  and 
terrible  misfortune,  is  ;nterwoven  with  the'  threads  of  that  ever  melancholy 
history  of  Indian  massacre  and  defeat.  Although  scores  of  Spaniards  fall 
in  the  wild  rush  of  battle,  or  in  the  dense  thickets  and  swamps,  it  is  by 
thousands  that  the  savages  are  trampled  down  before  the  charge  of  the 
Spanish  horse,  or  perish  by  the  murderous  culverin  and  matchlock.

the  volume,  two  hundred  and  thirty-seven  pages  (513  to  750)  are  devoted  to 
descriptions  and  illustrations  of  the  savages  of  the  Western  continents  and

There  is  not  a  word  of  preface  or  self-assertion  in  this  book,  to  indicate  that 
the  numerous  incidents  of  border  warfare  with  the  Comanches,  Wiecos,  and 
other  Indian  tribes,  are  only  imaginative,  but  they  are  told  with  a  freedom 
from  colloquial  dramatising,  that  gives  an  air  of  verity  to  them.     They  are

emperor  our  master.  Dedicated  to  his  majesty  the  emperor  by  E.  Xeres, 
secretary  of  one  of  the  first  conquerors  of  that  country.] 
This  very  rare  work  was  reprinted  by  Barcia  in  his  Historides  Primitivos.  It 
was  written  by  one  who  knew  personally  the  actors  in  the  conquest  of  the 
Incas,  and  witnessed  many  of  the  great  and  sanguinary  events  which  at- 
tended that  wonderful  change  of  dynasty.  He  becomes  of  course  the  apol- 
ogist of  the  invaders,  and  endeavors  to  extenuate  their  deeds  of  rapine,  de- 
struction, and  massacre.  This  edition  forms  one  of  the  first  series  of  Ter^ 
naux-Compans'  Voyages,  Relations,  et  Memoires.

8°  3  plates  and  pp.  \v.-\- 172.     London:  1842.  1705 

An  intimate  acquaintance  of  three  years  with  that  queer  commonwealth,  the 
Mosquito  Kingdom,  invented  and  fostered  by  the  tortuous  and  incompre 
hensible  motive  called  British  policy,  enables  the  author  to  give  us  some  ncM' 
and  very  interesting  views  of  savage  life.  The  whole  volume  is  occupied 
with  scenes  and  incidents  which  strongly  portray  that  of  the  Caribs,  the 
Poya,  the  Troncha  and  Albatuinasian  tribes  of  Indians.  The  author  has 
also  confined  himself  to  a  narration  of  what  he  saw,  except  in  one  or  two 
interesting  relations  of  Catholic  missions  among  the  interior  savage  tribes, 
and  the  martyrdom  of  the  evangelists  by  them.  A  vocabulary  of  the 
Mosquito  jargon  fills  the  last  three  pages  of  the  book.

A  French  translation  of  the  history  of  Zarate,  whose  early  narrative  of  the 
Spanish  Conquest  fully  confirms  the  terrible  story  of  Las  Casas.  The  prints 
are  principally  descriptive  of  the  horrible  cruelties  perpetrated  by  the  Spanish 
monsters  on  the  Indians.

[History  of  the  discovery  and  Conquest  of  Peru,  translated  from  the  Spanish 
of  Zarate.    Printed  by  the  government  to  furnish  employment  to  the  printer.] 

Zarate  filled  the  office  of  treasurer  general  in  Peru,  from  1543  to  1.548.  Hav- 
ing noted  carefully  in  his  journal,  the  incidents  which  occurred  within  the 
range  of  his  own  observation,  he  was  enabled  after  his  return  to  Spain,  to 
write  his  history  of  the  Conquest  of  the  Incas,  with  great  fidelity  and  clear- 
ness. The  first  volume  is  divided  into  four  books,  of  which  the  first  is  de- 
voted to  descriptions  of  the  natives  of  Peru,  with  some  brief  discussion  re- 
garding their  origin.  The  remaining  books  are  occupied  with  the  relations 
of  their  conquest. 

These  volumes  form  a  part  of  the  series  of  historical  works  printed  by  the 
government  of  France,  during  one  of  her  revolutionary  paroxysms,  to 
placAtc  the  most  dreaded  class  of  her  citizens.
